Detrans Awareness Day 2023: Just Chatting Series
A series of recorded conversations with the detrans community
About the Event: Just Chatting
Detrans Awareness Day (March 12) will forever hold a special place in my heart. It sowed the seeds, of the long painful process of emerging from the fever dream of transition. Hearing other stories like mine was monumental in being able to recover, as well as return to my own sense of self.
To honour the day, and organisations like Genspect, I interviewed members of the detrans community, to hear their thoughts in a series of informal chats. With nearly 11 hours of recorded conversation, there is surely something for everyone.
Just chatting is a series of recorded conversations with detransitioners across the detrans community. Many interviews have been held in the media and small podcast with detransioners, but never in this format.
For the first time, we get to hear a new take on detransition, from members of the detrans community, including our very own Head Moderator of /r/Detrans, Alex.
The videos will be released from 11:00 GMT Sunday 12 March on YouTube.

Just Chatting With…
Ember
Ember is a 30 year old detransitioned woman, with a talent for the piano. Like others, this was the first time I met and talked to Ember, and it was an absolute pleasure to do so, she like many others offered a balanced, logical and fair view on the political nature of how detransioners are used in the media.
Alex
It is an absolute privilege to be the one who gets to interview Alex. She is the head moderator of /r/detrans, and has single handily created an international community of detransitioners and desistors. Alex medicalised as a young teenager, and medically detransitioned at around age sixteen.
Her recovery was not without challenge, yet despite difficulties, has persevered to deliver a fundamentally important service to many, often at great personal expense.
Jade
Jade is another talented individual, though they wouldn't say it themselves. Growing up as a tomboy was difficult for Jade, who found herself restricted by gender roles. Just before taking testosterone at 31, Jade underwent a double mastectomy, and at 33 years old stopped taking testosterone.
Primarily, her reasons for detransition were underpinned by the drastic impacts testosterone has on the female body. Now, at 34, Jade is now navigating through difficult health conditions and the challenge of being seen as a young man, rather than 34 year old woman.
Chris
Chris is a 27 year old detransitioned man from the US. At 18 years old Chris medical transitioned and like many, found his route way into transition through 4chan and internet communities.
His pipeline is one many young men today can relate too, and now off hormones and reintegrating, Chris has kindly shared his story in great detail.
Redking
RedKing is another gentle soul, who in this revealing discussion, puts into picture; a life of alienation and internet obsessions.
At 19 years old, RedKing has now detransitioned and is enjoying life away from devices. In this chat, he bravely sheds light on a rarely discussed, yet highly common pipeline; femboys and pornography.
Asher
Asher is an 18 year old man who is already on his third year of college. Highly intelligent, talented, yet sensitive, Asher found fitting in a world as a bisexual teenager quite difficult.
At fourteen he was ready and willing to take hormone treatment, but a set of events, including parental intervention steered him off the course.
Ella
UPDATE: Ella has requested her interview be pulled.
Capt. Mystery
Captain Mystery (not his real name!) is a 21 year old detransitioner from the US. He's currently studying for a degree in computing, and talks about a life of being on the side lines, due to his physical and neurological conditions, which have been with him tonight.
Captain took hormones for 3 months, after walking into a Planned Parenthood clinic. In a combined series of event, captain who also runs a Reddit board critical of 'breadtubers', Captain found himself empathising with the experience of detransitioners.

Thank you <3
Detrans Awareness Day 2023: Just Chatting Series
Thank you and your interviewees. It is so important to get the word out. Norway has joined the club! They will no longer adhere to the WPATH "Standards of Care," and are initiating their own neutral studies on cross-sex ideation. (<my term) I just became aware of the context of "progressivism" which is the background of Dutch attitudes towards themselves as pioneers in progressive government policies, such as legal drugs and prostitution. The famed "Dutch Studies' which had a too small subject number and glaring inconsistencies in the intake/exit surveys, should be called "The Ferring Pharma Company Profit Study" as this Dutch drug company funded the research. DeVries and Steema, the main researchers, still cling to this nationalistic belief that their liberal policies benefit society all over the world and should never be questioned, despite the fact that 2 people died during the study, out of a start where N=70 became N=55 with no follow up to the subjects who left, and then N=53, with little written about the deaths, one of which was post surgery. I hope this might help you in the legal case. No UK doctor should be doing the surgeries you had, Ritchie, with knowledge of the flaws in the foundations of "The Dutch Protocols." Any trained doctor or scientist should be able to pinpoint those flaws, which are in flagrant violation of long observed research practices.
Thank you, for all you are doing!
