- I seriously could cry from relief from that article being published. I was interviewed in September 2020 and thought there was no way it would ever be published. It is a huge, huge, huge deal. Much love to other survivors of the cotton ceiling.
- Replying to @ExacerbatiI’m going to try to avoid reading the backlash. Honestly queer rape culture temporarily destroyed my life & permanently left me traumatized. I’m 6ish years out and just starting to feel okay most of the time. But there’s only so ok I can be when I know that it hasn’t stopped.
- I am so grateful for detrans women. Because I seriously considered the writing/thoughts of detrans women, I stopped my transition 3 days before my first T shot & stopped pursuing a mastectomy I was fast tracked for. I know now I would have been traumatized by transition.
- 1/ The outpouring of support has been staggering. It's incredible to see the cotton ceiling being covered in mainstream media. I am floored.
- I got an anonymous message today from someone who said she hopes I stop hurting trans women someday. This essay is my response.
- A group of women in the 1993 Capitol Hill Pride parade wear t-shirts printed with "I'm not a BOY," carrying a banner reading "Women often mistaken for men in public restrooms." They're smiling & laughing. It's ok to be gender non-conforming 🏳️🌈💞 Source: bit.ly/42ushSG
- I’ve been working on an essay for a long time trying to explain in depth the emotional experience being profoundly affected by cotton ceiling rhetoric to the point of feeling morally responsible to endure rape & abuse. We are real people. This was my life.
- Every day I am so grateful to detrans women telling their stories & making meaning of their experiences. It saved me from the trauma of a mastectomy in an extremely real way. I’m so happy I listened & that there were women to listen to.
- Evan Urquhart, a writer for Slate, is approaching detransitioned women for a piece. It's important those approached know how this journalist speaks on public, professional social media about detransitioned women & others whose relationship w/transition has changed over time.
