SACRAMENTO: 10th March 2023
In association with detransawareness.org
A demonstration in support of detransitioners will take place on March 10th at 1:00pm
1315 10th Street, Sacramento
If you can get to Sacramento on 10th March, please, do.
The animosity of those opposed to us raising awareness of the plight of detransitioners is such that it is necessary to hire security. Please help if you can.
March 12, 2023 is Detransition Awareness Day. Without question, the most important people in the gender movement are detransitioners. They did not ask for that responsibility, nor do they owe anyone anything — not a desperate parent, a good intentioned reporter, a film maker, a politician — no one. But we owe them all the same. We own them an unpayable debt of gratitude. Without their stories, most of the parents with children caught in the gender web wouldn’t understand what was truly happening to their child nor have any hope that their child could come out the other side. Without their stories, we wouldn’t have over 120 laws being offered (with many on their way to passage) in Republican and Democratic states to combat gender ideology in all of its forms. We likely wouldn’t have whistleblowers coming forth about both the fallacy of the Dutch model and America’s indefensible “gender affirmative care” model. It is the voices of the detransitioners that persuade legislators. Without them, we would not be moving towards compassionate and evidence-based care.
The number of members on detrans reddit (reddit.com/r/detrans/) stands at 44,200 members as of February 9, 2023, up from 38,700 in September of 2022 — an increase of more than 1,100 a month. Alongside, there have been more balanced articles that include information about detransitioners in the past year than there have been in the past decade. This means both that the numbers of detransitioners, desisters and questioners, and the interest about this harmed population is growing. Unsurprisingly, this trend matches the trajectory of children that believe that they are transgender.
