Most of the people who said KF helped them realize they needed to either detransition or to not transition at all were male, not female.I have concerns about the misleading perception that KiwiFarms is a site that saves lives, especially when it seems to be quite the opposite. It can be disheartening to witness claims from individuals, even women, asserting the life-saving qualities of KiwiFarms.
People having second thoughts about transition end up on KF because TRAs have censored all open and uncensored discussion about topics such as detransition and transition regret/botched surgeries literally everywhere else on the internet. TRAs themselves drove these people to KF with their censorship. It's really disingenuous to say that these people have an obligation to seek out "genuine sources of assistance" when it's TRAs who have gone out of their ways to utterly destroy those resources. Just look at the way TRAs targeted /r/detrans for years, or the way Katie Montgomery and his cult members will target literally any public detransitioner on Twitter.The misleading claims surrounding its purpose can misguide individuals and hinder their ability to seek genuine sources of assistance and support.
Again: it's censorship that creates the demand and support for sites like KF.
If you want KF to not exist, stop censoring people.
