People experiencing gender-related distress (homosexuals in particular) deserve better options than “transition or suicide.”
We’re working to remind LGB people of all ages that they have many choices— all of which are less destructive to their bodies than chemical and surgical interventions.
For parents with children & adolescents dealing with gender concerns: you are not alone. There is a growing community of resources available to support you and your family.
For lesbians, gays, and bisexuals identifying as trans: we see you and we love you. And we want you to know that self-harm is not self-actualization.
We are currently building out this page. Please check back soon for updates and resources. This page will be constantly evolving.
Embracing gender non-conformity and homosexuality
If you are gender non-conforming and feeling distressed… this is a reminder that you can be your best, most truest self right now, without having to do anything, go anywhere, or alter your body in any way.
What is desisting / detransitioning?
Desisting refers to when someone identifying as something other than their birth sex goes back to identifying as their birth sex.
Detransitioning refers to when someone undergoing “gender-affirming” medical intervention decides to alter that course of treatment, and can include efforts to reverse the effects (to the extent that is possible). It is a highly personal process that can sometimes, but not always, include returning to identifying as their birth sex.
