A grim story from Detransitioner, TullipR. “How I Got Here: Trans OCD & Internet Addiction“
The Internet is a major driver in propelling the obsession that someone is trans, this is true for me and is also true for many other detransitioners. It permits us to discount all our past hurts, whilst simultaneously allowing us to rewrite our own history in the name of gender dysphoria. This in itself is an obsession for many, but not all. And it’s no accident that many of the big-name detransitioners talked about discovering online communities that fuelled the fixation on gender dysphoria.
The Reddit online community of Detransitioners now sits at 32.2k and growing rapidly. I suspect this is just the beginning. What are we doing to our young people?
