Why does GR not tell me when ppl comment? This is so frustrating. I found this by total accident. Let me know what Andrea Long Chu I should be reading. I did not know about detrans grifter podcast, but I will let whatever was writ in this book stand on its own. As far as I'm concerned, this book has earned its own sentience. I highly recommend you trying to get back into it.
Calling Emma Zakharuk a detrans grifter would be incorrect. While she has reversed a lot of her transition, one of her main arguments has been for increased access to transition resources because someone who wants to reverse a transition needs the same exact healthcare as to enact a transition and the gatekeeping prevents from figuring out who they are and want to be, no matter what flavour of trans or cis. She sometimes calls herself "detrans" as a tongue-in-cheek jab at that political movement but is definitely not a grifter.
