She admitted she had no trans friends, that she was in her "own bubble", and began listening to TERF talking points online which "made alot of sense to me at the time"
(Thinking about how she had a terf gf and I've heard hearsay she had transphobic parents, poor support is key)

She stated that:
"Seeing what was going on, seeing the current trans culture, how crazy everything was going"
"Being trans is just pseudoscience"
(the pseudoscience claim is very abrupt inside the interview and she doesn't expand on it at all)

When asked if there was anything specific, she said:
"More than anything, it was just the T-R-A's putting their foot in it, I couldn't beleive what was going on in the world, how crazy it was, and I peak Trans'd I suppose"
"I suppose I began to wonder what I was a part of"

And what pray tell, was this "crazyness"?
"A mixture of everything, womens prisons, womens sports, the "trans women are women", the crazyness with trans women wanting to give birth or having periods just sounded nuts, and still does obviously"

Saying that trans women are women.
(If you don't agree with that statement, you are simply saying you just view trans women as cis men. Keira also did not mention anything about trans men or Enbies)

Trans women going to womens prison
Again, to not send women to prison is to deny them their womanhood, humanity and personhood.
And is a serious threat to their lives as trans women are raped at excessive rates in male prisons
To be against TW avoiding such a fate is gross

Trans women do have periods, its a natural part of having estrogen inside the body
Because, guess what causes periods??
Estrogen.
The thing that most trans women go on as part of their transition https://curvyandtrans.com/p/C4BD87/cycle-dynamics

And trans women, wanting to get pregnant, like how alot of women do.
And with modern science getting closer to transplants, this will become a lived reality for many within a few years!

And that, according to Keira, is the reason for detransitioning
Seeing trans women as women, and people, and the current state of modern science, was too much to accept
Combine that with not having a support group, suspected transphobic parents and it appears that...

Keira is the result of someone being radicalized to hate themselves and their own community
She only briefly mentioned that she could be a GNC woman, but this too was based on the claim that being trans is "pseudoscience"

Thread looking at Keira hitting "transition wall" on the results of her transition, and anger at seeing the limitations
Alongside her hate towards TW, I suspect she has anger/jealousy at TW for her perception of better their better results https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1356946863933505537?s=20
