Is It Culty? Trans Activist Community - Detransitioners Experience Part 2: Emotion Control
Some people who have gone down the pathway of detransition later decide that it is not a good match for them. There is a growing movement of "detransitioners." As they start to unpack and deconstruct what led to their decisions they find alarming parallels with the sort of groupthink, undue influence and social pressures that play a role in other high demand groups.
In this interview one such detransitioner, Michelle Alleva, shares her own experiences having gone down that pathway, including hormones, double mastectomy and hysterectomy - only to later find her self conception and worldview were distorted in ways that she did not understand until coming out as a detransitioner and learning about the BITE model.
Michelle's story is specific to her own journey - but other detransitioners have related similar experiences. Not every one will have the same experience, but understanding how aspects of undue influence may be present in a decentralized online community built around strongly held beliefs can help people maintain their own agency as they navigate the world of transition.
To help identify and quantify how her own experience in the world of social media Trans Activism may have matched this pattern of Cultiness, detransitioner Michelle Alleva goes through the IsItCulty.com online assessment and shares her thoughts on what she experienced.
Being aware of some of the mechanisms of undue influence as they may appear in the trans activist community can help individuals avoid such forces intruding into their own agency and decision making process as they navigate the world of transition.
In Part 2 of this assessment we review the mechanisms of Emotion Control according to a form of the BITE model of cultiness.
