The Detransition Advocacy Network (TDAN) is a charitable, nonprofit, global effort to improve the well-being of detransitioned people everywhere.
Launched in November 2019, TDAN works with local chapters through its core leadership to support those who desist from gender transition, and to lobby institutions for the destigmatisation of detransition and expansion of detransitioners’ healthcare and legal options.
Charlie Evans, the founder of TDAN, had to leave to look after her own health and wellbeing. We wish her all the best and a return to the best of health.
Our Duty has taken on the TDAN brand and we are looking for a team of detransitioners who can take it forward. We can provide full technical support. Let us know if you want to be involved.
NOTE TO PARENTS:
Every detransitioner’s story is unique. Some had parents who affirmed, some had parents who did not. Some had trauma, some did not; some have autism traits, some do not; some are homosexual, some are not.
Parents of children with transgender ideation often seek answers for their loved one’s situation in the experience of detransitioners. However, not all detransitioners want to engage with that side of their story.
By and large, detransitioners want to get on with their lives, looking forward. They seek peace and resolution of what has gone before; many are keen to avoid going over the past.
Our Duty has built a constructive working relationship with The Detransition Advocacy Network.
We encourage all parents who want to know more about detransition as a possible outcome for their child to do so through Our Duty.
The Detransition Advocacy Network has kindly provided two information resources for our website which you can find here:
I WAS an extreme liberal “trans man” I “came out” when I was 16 and started testosterone when as soon as I was 18. I went in to planned parenthood in Ohio and within ONE appointment I was sent home with testosterone. They asked me a couple of questions like “can you consent to taking this medication and are you mentally ok enough to start this” they gave me a very brief verbal description of how to give my own shots, wrote the prescription and sent me home. I picked up that prescription that day and was kicked out of my mother’s home. I lived with my best friend, girlfriend, and her family for a couple weeks until I moved into a homeless shelter where I continued to take testosterone for two and a half months. I quit due to it causing me health issues. Of which of course, I was not told nor warned about. I still continue to struggle with terrible heart palpitations to this very day. I was completely brainwashed into thinking this kind of thing was ok. Within the last year, I’ve questioned EVERYTHING. I’ve lost a lot of friends today as a result. Of course all being liberal. How can a party that is so “inclusive” and “loving” completely turn away someone they supposedly loved.
Hi I am a Transexual who lived as a woman on hormones for ten years and went back to being a male now I just want to talk to other people like me!!!
Dear The Detransition Advocacy Network,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across your incredible work supporting detransitioners and I wanted to reach out about a potential opportunity that could help further your advocacy and amplify survivor voices.
I work as a casting research assistant for Origin, and we’re launching a new series powered by Upstream Studios where women share their most intimate, powerful, and unforgettable real-life experiences. We handle these narratives with great care and respect, and work closely with contributors to ensure they feel safe and supported throughout the process in our London studio.
This is a paid opportunity, and if selected, their story would be shared with an audience of over 655,000 subscribers on our YouTube channel.
This opportunity offers great exposure so if you feel this might be of interest to any of the people you support – and only if appropriate and fully in line with their readiness and well-being – I’d be happy to send more information.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Mireille
