    Detransitioners exist, but they are such a tiny minority of people who receive gender-affirming care. IIRC, more people regret having knee surgery than any surgery associated with a gender transition. Should we ban knee surgery?!

      My friend’s parent detransitioned because they were not accepted socially in their preferred gender and found it less painful to just live with the dysphoria than to bear the brunt of the hatred that came their way. By my understanding, the vast majority of people who do detransition do so because they did not find acceptance in society or socially.

      Unreal that the biggest cure for trans regret is to stop giving them things to regret.
