Young people who said they’d been misled and severely damaged by participating in the transgender movement took to social media on March 12 as part of a “Detrans Awareness Day” event hosted by nonpartisan organization Genspect.
In posts and videos that went viral over the weekend, social media users who identified themselves as “detransitioners” shared personal photos and stories highlighting the trauma they underwent as participants in the transgender movement. Each post shared on March 12 bore the hashtag #DetransAwarenessDay.
I transitioned in 2010 (when I was 22 years old) and detransitioned in 2020.

“Detransitioners have been badly treated by society, and we owe it to them to show up, lend them our ears, and make sure that others also hear about these issues,” wrote Irish psychologist Stella O’Malley, who founded Genspect to help parents and children work through issues related to gender identity.
“Too few people seem even to be aware that medical transition carries a very heavy medical burden on the body, and seldom lives up to the image of the promised sunlit uplands where you can apparently become a member of the opposite sex,” O’Malley said. “The bitter reality is that we can’t ever become another person.”
