Crash ChaosCats: Crash is a detransitioned lesbian, and insightful blogger on the issue of being a woman in society who deals with gender dysphoria, and who does not fit gender expectations. Her YouTube channel is here and blog here.

GD Working Group: This site includes Dr. Ken Zucker, who is one of the world experts on childhood gender dysphoria, but is considered very controversial in the trans community because of his more cautious approach to medically transitioning minors. Zucker believes using the affirmative model to treat gender dysphoria is likely to prevent desistance in childhood, thus medicalizing would-be gay, lesbian or bisexual youth. The site also includes other scientists and mental health professionals, such as Ray Blanchard, Micheal Bailey, and Debra Soh. @ZUCKERKJ, @BlanchardPhD, @profjmb (Bailey), @DrDebraSoh
Gender Health Query- "Mission: To prevent the over-medicalization of gender nonconforming youth. To prevent harm resulting from medical treatments on trans-identified minors. And to address confusion and rights conflicts that arise from new ideologies about gender (within and outside of the LGBT community)."

r/detrans- This subreddit has many posts from detransitioned lesbians, bisexuals, and gay men.
r/lgbdropthet- This is a subreddit used by LGB people who believe gender activism has become too extreme and harms LGB interest and public support. (FTR -" Drop the T" is a controversial term. LGB people should be allowed to criticize trans activism and create their advocacy without including trans issues. But to be clear, The Homoarchy has no interest in alienating reasonable and respectful trans people).
r/truebisexuals- This subreddit is generally anti-postmodern queer theory (i.e., there are "dozens of genders," bio sex is irrelevant). "Hi all :) This is a new community made for us bisexuals who are attracted to the same and opposite sex. Many lgbt subs shame us for who we are attracted to, but here, feel welcome to be yourself."
r/truelesbians- This is a subreddit for lesbians who know there are two biological sexes and take issue with some aspects of current gender ideology. Loss of lesbian spaces and disrespect for lesbians' boundaries are main focuses. Exclusively same-sex attracted women only here, please.
The Boxer Ceiling- This Facebook page documents attitudes of sexual entitlement some gender activists have towards gay men (and lesbians). "the boxer ceiling" is the male version of the original "cotton ceiling," the term for MtFs having difficulty getting into lesbians pants due to lesbains not seeing dysphoric, autogynephilc males, as lesbians.
The Pique Resilience Project: This is a group of young desisted and detransitioned females. Much of what they have to say is critical of the affirmative model and the current gender ideology culture that LGBT youth are immersed in. It is a different narrative than the positive transition stories promoted on almost all liberal media websites, LGBT media websites, and LGBT organization featured stories. @PiqueResProject
Redress Alert: "If you're reconciling with being female after a period of dis-identification--including transition or not--you are not alone."
Rethinking Identity Medicine: RIME is based in the United States and says they will focus on best mental health practices. "The MISSION of ReIME is to promote the highest standards of care and ethics in the area of identity medicine for children and youth."
Transgendertrend: This is a British group started due to rising parental concerns about significant increases in trans-identified minors, especially females. They believe girls have the right to sex-based protections in schools and law. They have some well-sourced material, even some written by social science professionals, and a school resource pack that provides an alternative approach to dealing with gender identity in schools. @Transgendertrd
Transrational: This is a group of trans people from the U.S. and U.K. who provide alternative viewpoints (generally middle ground) to the ones heard from more militant activists, or even mainstream LGBT media. They support both sex-based protections based on female biology and building resources for trans people. According to their manifesto at the time of writing this, they support a depoliticization of the discussion around transitioning children. @rational_trans
The Velvet Chronicle: This is a blog by and for lesbians by writers (and couple) Julia Robertson and Cludia Lucas Robertson.
