I was curious, so I looked up how many people reported having history of detransitioning. One study of 27k people who have had done trans care, 13.1% of those reported history of detransitioning, and 82.5% of those said that decision was highly influenced by external factors such as family pressure or societal stigma. In other words only 2.29% of people actually decided to detransition based on internal factors, as in felt that they decided it based on how they feel, not how others felt about their transition.

Damn, anti trans people should really look at the stats, because its pretty clear how its not a decision these people take lightly, nor something they are likely to regret. Also if they do regret it, you should actually support more research into transitioning so people who do regret it can switch back.

Edit: Lmao someone reported me as suicidal for writing this comment, I got a "RedditCareResources" Message, haters be hating.

Can you link the study? I’m definitely gonna bring this up when I have to argue with people about the whole “they regret it and detransition anyways” nonsense and want to back up the stat.

But this was really just the first thing I could find, there are probably larger studies out there.
