I know Richie / Tulip, a famous MTFTM detransitioner, said that he wishes he saw the Kiwi Farms before he got the big snip.
I don't trust detransitioners, not a single one. Not even ones platformed by right wing circles, like Chloe Cole. Don't get me wrong, I wish them well. I hope Chloe Cole sues Kaiser into the ground, sorts out her emotional issues, and then goes and lives a quiet and peaceful life with her millions. But I have yet to see a detransitioner who has gone public with their story who didn't seem to be enjoying the attention of it, and attention-seeking is half of what got them into this mess. These are not people who have any wisdom or insight to share, other than to showcase how easily they (and in the case of minors, also their parents) were duped by randos on Tumblr and/or reddit and the medical establishment.There is something emotionally wrong with these people. They didn’t think their way into this situation, even if some of them are capable of verbose post-hoc rationalizations. If they didn’t think their way into this, why would they think themselves out of it? Unfortunately, they felt and coomed their way into this. And until the feels and the cooms run out, there is little chance for absolution.
In my mind there's always the question too: do they actually get it, or are they just disillusioned because they found out the hard (and stupid) way that they can't magically change sex? It always seems like the latter to me, because fundamentally these people are still extremely naive and immature, and that doesn't magically go away just because they start saying the right things that get them brownie points from those on the our side of the issue. Again, none of this makes me wish them ill, I just have no interest in what they have to say and I think they'd be better served by exiting the spotlight and trying to live as peaceful a life as they can with whatever injury they have done to themselves.
