so obviously, there's a lot of headcanons where people will say certain characters are trans or non-binary, and a lot of people will say "trans pride" or "trans rights".

well, what about the cis people and the cis detransitioners who say "cis/detrans rights" "cis/detrans pride"? i've been lately seeing more things where people will headcanon their favorite characters as cis detransitioners.

im fine with detransitioners and cis people, i don't really mind. but i guess i'm confused for some reason as a trans man... also, i don't really understand the cis pride/rights thing because they're not a minority, but detrans i can sorta understand because they're cis but they have experiences that aren't unique to all cis people but also not all trans people (since they detransition)

i guess, maybe deep down, i wish i could be cis... i wish detransition worked for me...

people who are loudly detransitioners always give me the ick. detransitioning is one of those things pushed by right wing bigots who hate trans people. they hold up people who detransitioned as examples of why no one should be allowed to transition and claim that tons of people are doing it, when in reality a very tiny minority of people detransition, and a lot of those are more likely because they were being abused in some way and felt detransitioning was the only way to protect themselves. so when someone is loudly a detransitioner it makes me wonder, are they actually a bigot doing a bit to push their agenda or a trans person who was abused into believing they were wrong all along? either way i question their motives.

ahh, that's the term, loud detransitioners, yeah. i agree with u though

i know a lady who's a detransitioned cis ally, but as for the others, especially the ones who loudly talk about how cis they are, idk...
