I've heard it said that, in the UK ate least, a great many desisters just walk away from the clinics and never come back so they never appear on statistics.

Why would they ever set foot in one of those clinics again?

But they don't sign off or anything like that. Statistically they are not desisters.

Maybe it's different in the UK, but in the US, even if desisters/detransitioners DID return to clinics to announce their decision, there is no requirement that doctors or psychologists track that information or reveal it to the public.

As one detransitioned woman memorably said, "We're not even guinea pigs." Millions of $$ in grants are funded by
@NIH to study hormones & surgeries on trans youth as young as 12 yrs old. Who is studying detransitioners, much less getting that kind of money to do it?3 replies 8 retweets 19 likes -

4thWaveNow @4th_WaveNowVia @MLaidlawMD : In 2017, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy informed the@NIH that minimum age for cross-sex hormones was now reduced from 13 to 8. 8-yr-old children on cross-sex hormones. Progress report/change document submitted by Dr. Olson-Kennedy here: https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/3f4f51_a929d049f7fb46c7a72c4c86ba43869a.pdf … pic.twitter.com/90URAlrIRq1 reply 2 retweets 5 likes -

WTF? Who can think this is in any way appropriate? Which US states is this law in? Have any 8 year olds actually been put on cross sex hormones? (Or any kids at elementary / middle school?) This is child abuse, no other word for it.

It's not a law; it's an addendum to a $5.7 million taxpayer funded study by Johanna Olson-Kennedy. And while it's not confirmed, some parents in a Facebook group are talking about kids that young being approved for T. Not illegal in the US.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1115698440854474753 …

This is why we keep asking our UK friends (including journalists) to help us talk about what's happening in the US; it's far beyond what you see in the UK, where the NHS is still "gatekeeping" so this sort of thing doesn't happen. As you know, MSM US press won't touch it.
