When TERFs talk about “detransitioned women” they’re talking about trans men they pushed and manipulated into detransitioning.
Yes!
And it’s not like people who detransition for their own reasons don’t exist. Gender can be fluid and life can be complicated. Detransition is fine and our trans community should support people who detransition and should never treaten them with bring pushed from trans groups. Tying the choice of detransitioning to social exclusion is coercive and harmful.
And trying the choice to transition to social exclusion is exactly what TERFs do. Detransition is extremely rare and when you create a space where trans men need to choose between detransitioning or losing their entire social support system and basically being treated like a vile traitor, suddenly detransitioning gets common.
This is who TERFs when they say they know multible ‘detransitioned women’.
