Regret doesn't go back to the doctors who did the transition. Desistance is not on file anywhere. Detransition isn't funded to promote its community.
Research has been discouraged.
Whether you are a disillusioned transitioner yourself, a parent, a practitioner, or someone making policy, this site provides information and insight that we did not have, or did not acknowledge, before we transitioned. The material here is relatively brief, but will be supported by longer pieces on our Substack, written by our volunteers:
The voice of detransitioners has been present almost as early as transition itself. Detransitioners were always under attack from people promoting transition. As more transitioned, the number of detransitioners inevitably increased. We aim to empower detransitioners by connecting them.
Canadian detransitioners have particular difficulty finding the information and help they need to heal. Sufficiently specialized medical, therapeutic, surgical, and cosmetic assistance are only sparsely available, and not widely known.
It is obvious that detransitioners are owed compensation for what was done to them. The only questions are, who will pay, and how much? These questions will be sorted in the courts, eventually, and we aim to make it as soon as possible.
An authoritative collective voice of experience with transgender recruitment, induction, and medicalization is needed in Canadian politics, and we aim to be that voice wherever it is needed.
Christian belief plays a role in some people's detransition journey. DAC's internal network supports seeking comfort and insight through ministry.
In order to combat the overwhelming success of the transgender industry at soliciting victims and exploiting their insecurities, current events need to be tracked and deconstructed. This site is the hub for DAC to provide that service.
To recover from a big experience like wrongful transition, a person tends to need to make sense of what happened. What actually happened? Who did what? Did I screw up, or did someone else do something wrong?
And as your real personality re-emerges, you may wonder, what was I actually mixed up in? Is it a cult? Is it an addiction? Were we hypnotized, or brainwashed? Were we criminally lured and exploited? The answer is, maybe a bit of all that. It will vary from person to person.
Many of us feel that we chose this path, and we beat ourselves up for having made a big mistake. But it is important for every detransitioner (and transitioner, for that matter) to know that this process was not organic or internal. In almost every case we have heard of, someone (a) exposed you to the idea, (b) personalized the concept to you, so that you adopted it, (c) enabled you to take steps along the identity pipeline, and (d) helped to clear away the people who were protecting your original self and your health.
So, if part of your desistance process is wondering "what the hell was I thinking," you should realize that there were many people who were working hard to control what you were thinking. You should not beat yourself up.
In the writing that we post on Substack (https://substack.com/@detransalliancecanada), we will explore the phases of transgenderism, the types of transgenderism, and the various beliefs and behaviours that occur around transgenderism.
Healing is a multi-layered, long term process. One of the reasons detransition is difficult is that there is no clear pathway. Everyone's goal depends on where they started, how far they went, and at what stage of reversal they find a comfortable outcome.
Our losses vary. Even in the purely physical realm, some of us incurred more physical impact than others. Our physical challenges are very unusual from a medical standpoint, depending on what was done to our bodies. In a world where too many doctors are still causing transition, it is hard to find a medical setting where we aren't triggered, our suffering diminished, our needs taken lightly.
We hope that being part of a network will help us find good service providers more quickly. Being part of a network can be healing in itself, especially if we can do meaningful work on prevention and compensation.
But in the shorter term, as individuals, we have physical problems to solve. We have hormone dosages to work out, chronic pain issues to resolve; we are trying to repair our voices and our hairlines, reverse or correct the surgical alterations made to our bodies, and trying to help all our confused organs function normally.
So, we need to find doctors in all provinces & territories who will help us with that without asking for our stupid pronouns.
Contact us if you have a service to offer.
Once you are out of the transgender illusion, you escape the hypnotic state, you shake the dependency you have on the cross-sex identity to bolster your insecurities.
Transgender identity is a pretty self-absorbed state, in which you are encouraged, or more accurately duped, into thinking constantly about your own feelings about things people really don't need to have feelings about. What sex am I? Really? That's as improbable as trying to have feelings about your body parts. How do I feel about my liver? My lungs? My bones? How about my colon? Was I born with someone else's esophagus?
Whatever breaks the spell for you, as you emerge you begin to be able to think of others, as you think less about yourself. You become more aware of the feelings and needs of people around you. But you also become acutely aware that there are people who are just like the child or youth that you once were, and they are still being sucked into the belief that they should pursue the ephemeral idea of a "sex change."
We created and maintain this website in the hope of preventing further damage to more people. Our political voice is deployed in part for that purpose.
Detransitioners are starting to sue for compensation for what was done to them. That detransitioners deserve compensation is clear. The only question is, who will pay, and how much. Lawsuits are underway in several other countries, and are beginning in Canada.
Detrans Alliance Canada wants to keep track of detransitioners in Canada partly to ensure that every possible legal avenue is pursued. We are combining our efforts, with the help of friends, to find lawyers, raise funds, and pursue cases.

There are many different kinds of transgendered, or transgender-believing people. But there are some elements in common.
Transgenderism is a uniquely narcissistic mindset. It encourages you to think so deeply about your own feelings that you become oblivious to the feelings of everyone around you. Because our feelings about being the other sex can only be the products of our imagination, we are a bit insecure about them, and need constant affirmation, which often expresses itself as a need for attention and an aversion to adverse input or disagreement.
People in this mindset need to find something wrong with people who disagree with them, because they cannot admit they are doing or thinking anything wrong. Otherwise, the whole belief system crumbles. And so, we call other people transphobic.
In reality, other people are totally fine. They are just more interested in themselves and in their feelings than they are in us, which is totally natural and as it should be. Why should they think about us all the time?
When we detransition, we become less dependent on affirmation, and we start to be able to consider the feelings of others again. But if most of your friends are in the transgender mindset, your escape from it is a threat to them. They are not able to think of your needs or feelings. They are afraid of losing your affirmation of them. And so, they call you the names that they give everyone who threatens their fragile invented self-image.
And by the way: it's OK to be transphobic. As a detransitioner who is on a complicated journey, you need to be thinking about yourself and about the people who matter to you, not the people who encouraged your harm.
We believe in using correct sex-based pronouns, but with so many mixed signals in the air, sometimes our intuition leads us elsewhere.
The language is hypnotic, while speech should be intuitive.

No one is going to be perfect on the pronoun game. Mostly, we don't let anyone tell us to take it too seriously, as we once did.
People who describe their "transition journey" often simply list their medical procedures. But all of us began that journey with an induction process. First, we were somehow exposed to the idea of "sex change" by some source. Second, we somehow applied that idea to our own problems, and adopted it. Third, we became resistant to inputs tha
People who describe their "transition journey" often simply list their medical procedures. But all of us began that journey with an induction process. First, we were somehow exposed to the idea of "sex change" by some source. Second, we somehow applied that idea to our own problems, and adopted it. Third, we became resistant to inputs that would persuade us otherwise. If you are trying to make sense of what happened to you, it starts with the person who first put that idea into your head.
