Detrans Awareness Day 2024
Detrans Awareness Day 2024
Raising awareness about the after-effects of a misguided psychosocial and medical intervention
The first “Detrans Awareness Day” was held on March 12, 2021, and was organized by people who had detransitioned, for people who had detransitioned.
There are a few online events occurring for Detrans Awareness Day 2024:
Ritchie will be releasing another round of his “Just Chatting” series (in which he speaks frankly with other people who have lived experience with transition procedures) throughout the week. The schedule can be found as follows. (I did “Just Chatting” with Ritchie back in November, which can be found here!)
Genspect’s Beyond Trans program is once again raising awareness on March 12 by hosting content created by detransitioners, including written pieces, videos, and art. Of particular interest may be a webinar at 11:00 p.m. GMT in which detransitioners give their perspective on the recent release of the WPATH Files.
The Canadian chapter of “Our Duty” is hosting an X Space on the former Twitter with founder of Detrans Alliance Canada, Kellie Pririe, as one of its guests. A link to this space can be found here. The space begins at 7:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday evening.
If you are looking to directly support a detransitioner on Detrans Awareness Day:
I am still raising money for the lawsuit I brought against my health professionals in Canada! I am halfway to my goal and extremely grateful for everyone who has donated so far. The statement of claim was filed in November 2022. Pretrial proceedings (examinations for discovery/depositions) are finally scheduled for next month (April 2024).
I’m happy to say I was able to start taking on more paid work (my regular job, not advocacy) this year after being on disability payments for the last few years. I hope to be able to support myself by the end of the year. However, I do need some help paying off some bills before I am financially comfortable. Also, the day after Detrans Awareness Day (March 13) is my birthday… :)
