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.

To add onto this the cause of being trans is most likely to do with subtle biological differences in the brain. There are differences in brain structure between men and women and these differences exist at some of the earliest years of life to some extent, with the differences becoming more notable during puberty. With that being said the brain of a trans person is usually somewhere in between a typical female and male brain, with a bias towards the gender they identify with.
