    This is fascinating. Elle Palmer was one of the first detransitioners I became aware of.

      When I was 20, I was going viral for the transition and detransition that my lifelong leftist parents had facilitated when I was only 16… Because of my family, I had been raised as an unquestioning, passionate, “open-minded” leftist. When my videos got popular, I was getting email after email asking me to share my detransition story for this article, this podcast, this video, this livestream. And almost every legitimate offer I got from high-profile, recognizable people were right-leaning organizations or conservative content creators. No matter what it was, if it was from a conservative, my parents convinced me not to do it. Except when I rejected those offers, my inbox was left empty. I didn’t get any offers from leftist content creators or liberal organizations who wanted to share my story. Wonder why that is? My mom said “they’re weaponizing your detransition for their agenda.” And at the time I took her word for it. 5 years later I have realized that my leftist belief system was not universal, it was not “my way or you’re bigoted”, and it was not uneducated or ignorant to be conservative. Conservatives have not “weaponized” my story. They just want other people to hear it, and they just want me to say what happened to me. They have put me on their show and simply said “tell us what happened.” There was no twisting of words, no lies, no propaganda. They simply wanted me to tell them the honest truth: why did I transition and detransition? Now, I’m 25, and have realized the only reason my parents would feel threatened by conservatives is because the overwhelming majority of them will rightfully criticize my parents for letting me transition at 16 years old… Next week I’m going to Washington, DC to rally and speak at the Supreme Court for the Skrmetti case that will set the precedent on whether or not minors will be allowed to transition for the entire country. A conservative organization invited me. I answered with a resounding “YES!” My parents decided to block me when I told them I was going. Not joking. I can’t wait!

      @EatKnitSleepAgain @Sherri_Ingrey @ellepalmer1 My assumptions: The parents don't mind having a detrans daughter. The fact that she's speaking out against the progressive cause du jour and through "the wrong channels" is what bothers them. Good People™️ can't be associated with conservatives or their opinions in any way. It's not about the daughter, it's about the parents' image.

      @EatKnitSleepAgain @jmakesart @ellepalmer1 I have heard of the family ditching them before, just not sure where.

      @Sherri_Ingrey @jmakesart @ellepalmer1 I guess they'd rather have a miserable 'son' than a detrans daughter.

      Hypocrites.

      @jmakesart @ellepalmer1 I've heard plenty about the glitter family abandoning detransitioners, but this is the first time I've heard of the actual family abandoning them also. That's unbelievably cold. I hope this brave young woman has a shitload of support from others, seeing as her cowardly parents won't step up for her.

      @jmakesart @EatKnitSleepAgain @Sherri_Ingrey @ellepalmer1 This *guilt through association* and *we must be ideologically aligned in our purity* message is fascinating. Imagine not being able to agree with someone over an issue because of the terror of being shunned by others.

      @KeepTakingTheSoma @jmakesart @EatKnitSleepAgain @ellepalmer1 all of it comes back to "We have gone from an age of dignity to an age of narcissism" that Vankin talks about. In the west at least everyone is only out for themselves.

      @KeepTakingTheSoma @EatKnitSleepAgain @Sherri_Ingrey @ellepalmer1 It really is. Requiring complete ideological purity kills independent thought.
