Also r/detrans. What an enormous shithole full of people with awful takes and a conscious stream of hate. It had a huge slant against science and parroted misinfo about the human body and society, always punching down on trans folks, though they pretended not to. I know a few of them were detransitioners, but I’m convinced that the entire sub was planted by some conservatwat to rally hate.
That’s what I used to think until a few of them shared their pictures and stories and they sounded believable so I don’t think it was all fake. But that’s all you need, right, just a couple of voices to point to, to seem justified in that ridiculous crusade.
right. it’s not all fake, but the size of the sub is wildly disproportionate to the statistics we have on detransitioners (some of whom will ultimately choose to transition again, which is not reflected by the stats).

If they are disrespecting big L
the userbase of r/detrans prolly consists of actual detransitioners to the same extent that the userbase of r/teenagers consists of actual teenagers.

I remember hearing that r/teenagers is people under 13 or pdf files (ifyky)
