@Susan_Larson_TN I actually met someone who detransitioned once. This was several years ago, I was getting admitted at the same time as them. They were pushed pretty hard to start transitioning before they really were sure of who they were, and they ended up in more misery than they started.

This is one such story that gets used for pushing against transitioning, or for gating, but we should be using it ourselves to push for better education of professionals, making sure they're actually ready.

People who detransition exist.

People who *willingly* detransition exist.

However, detransitioning by choice was not the only possibility in the statement about study results.

My first thought was, How much of the 2% had passed away?

How many were forced to detransition because support faded?

One person who detransitioned (who the transmisic majority are eager to acknowledge) is not a good reason to minimize calls to give people medical support.

@violet I know this. I #detransitioned for a #decade in the 90's.

What I didn't do, was go out and lobby against the only treatment that provides actual relief to trans people.

I support true detransitioners, what I don't support is detransitioners weaponized by religion and other transphobic extremists and the tropes they use in an attempt to harm our community.
