Philly Cancelled Detransitioners’ Talks?

I can’t make it to the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference. In the past it hasn’t been accessible with my ptsd and my sensory processing issues. But it is the leading trans health resource in the states.

And– as much as transition has been right for me– detransition can be right for some people.

I think trans health resources should include detransition resources.

Carey Callahan’s response to the decision, for those who can watch video:

tw for dog barks.

On their own or in combination with transitioners’ perspectives, detransitioners’ perspectives can:

1. Help people find better detransition resources, if that’s what they need.
2. Help find ways for people to disentangle social from biologically-rooted dysphoria. Some of us transitioners have our own experiences there, too.
3. Help find ways for people starting hormones to decide whether it’s better to continue hormones and/or transition, pause, or stop hormones and/or detransition.
4. Help find ways for people to cope with dysphoria. Sometimes there’s too much puberty damage. Sometimes there’re too many barriers to transition, or medical issues that force an interruption in hormones or prevent surgery.

I’ve emailed the Mazzoni Center about this. Maybe you can too.
