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.

Anti-trans people are operating off of hate. They won’t actually give a flying fuck about data and statistics. If they did they wouldn’t be losing their minds over such a tiny number of trans athletes that aren’t even top of their sports

Well, i think a larger majority is out of ignorance. Like my cousin for example was largely anti-trans until i explained to her some of the actual facts behind it rather than her just relying on facebook posts. Something eventually clicked and she looked more into it, now she, well, not supporter per se but stopped spouting nonsense about it.

Coworkers, friends, mother in law (sorta. Still chipping away there), etc etc. all just ignorance, willful or otherwise. Patience and an attempt to talk to those that are willing to listen actually goes quite the long way with most people.

The loud out spoken minority, yeah, all hatred. Then again, most hatred is born of ignorance. But that just leads to the “horse/water” metaphor in regard to people’s actual willingness to listen.

Yeah, it’s very hard to move someone from being against something to outright acceptance, but it’s a lot easier to move someone from being against something to non-committal. Which is better than hate, at the very least, and opens the door to acceptance later
