Genderweird human passing as a transmasculine butch dyke. Previously known as CrashChaosCats, she lived as a detransitioned woman for seven years and helped create the radical feminist detrans women’s community. She wrote and produced YouTube videos to increase awareness of detransition. Detransitioning didn’t work out and she now sees what she went through as a kind of “conversion practice.” She has since disengaged from her former community and now works to raise awareness of the harms and dangers of ideologically motivated detransition as a conversion practice. She aims to help create better resources for trans and detrans people.
Pronouns: She, her, hers

As a Jewish, disabled, trans androgynos, Lee has been a self- and professional health liberation advocate for over a decade. S/he first wrote about his/her experiences in the late 2000s, delving into disability justice, trans rights, and psychiatric oppression. S/he went on to help build peer developed resources centered on trauma, dissociation, and identity, including gender identity. After experiencing vision loss alongside his/her detransition, s/he became a founding director of Gender Care Consumer Advocacy Network (GCCAN), only to resign in protest out of concern for the impact such groups had on trans health liberation. S/he re-emerged to the scene in late 2020 to build trans and health liberation resources outside of the nonprofit sector.
Pronouns: In English and other gendered languages, Lee uses both he/him/his and she/her/hers, opting to follow the lead of how others perceive him/her as long as they’re being respectful about it. Use what you’re comfortable with, just don’t be an ass.
For those who don’t feel comfortable choosing, you can use the following guidance based on method of communication:
- Written references: You can default to s/he, him/her, and his/hers in English, or the closest equivalent in any other language you use. Doing so honors Lee having a foot in both worlds, with both having equal meaning.
- Verbal references: You can use he/him/his for the sake of simplicity. Alas, dual pronouns don’t translate well to speech.
