Just one year ago, I was way more liberal.
As a young woman who grew up with Facebook, Tumblr and Youtube, I naturally got exposed to the typical content: Be tolerant and accepting of everyone, no matter what.
And for the longest time, I had no reason to question that.
I didn’t care for the neopronouns and surgeries, wasn’t even thinking about them much, but my own trauma and fractures pushed me into that community.
I “identified” as an asexual and aromantic teenager, switching between that and bisexual and pansexual.
I even had the obligatory, “Would I be happier as a man?” dysmorphic phase.
You know what all that was?
A cry for help.
A soul so disembodied that it ran loops trying to find an answer and feel normal.
A ton of unprocessed grief from every stage of childhood.
You know what saved me? A download from Source.
I remember the coil of terror in my chest when I looked at myself in the mirror, and suddenly I knew, “My body’s not at fault for these feelings. It doesn’t matter what I look like. This is something else.”
Imagine if I hadn’t gotten that download, if I’d been pulled deeper into the trans movement.
It would’ve convinced me that yes, I AM trans. My body IS wrong. Take testosterone and be happy!
That possibility is terrifying.
The reality that a cluster of people convince traumatized, disembodied young adults that their bodies must be cut open for “relief” is terrifying. That their genitals must be mutilated to be “correct”.
Trans people exist.
But we’re way past all reason and health here.
The trans movement isn’t about self-love. It’s about spreading this panic of, “Transition or suicide.”
Do you understand what that ultimatum does to people’s nervous systems? To parents? To the children who are being spoon-fed this ideology?
The activism side of this ideology is distorted in many ways, but what turned me away from it for good was the way they treat detransitioners—people who thought were trans, maybe even took hormones or have gotten surgery. Detrans people are ostracized by their once “understanding” community. They lose their friends, support, and perceived safety.
It’s exactly like how people who leave a cult get treated.
And I haven’t even talked about how this ideology has infiltrated the school system, work, politics, and every piece of media yet.
Pulling people out of their bodies, making their bodies wrong, encouraging irreversible damage and injury…
That’s the antithesis of health.
It’s the polar opposite of what people actually need, which is a return INTO the body, away from mental stories and loops.
