I absolutely think a lot (most? nearly all?) trans people are trans because of default brain wiring or something, but I wonder what percentage are MtF cause they felt like they could never be a successful man, and because there's a clear community/path to acceptance for trans ppl

But then it’s not about trans and more about misunderstanding one’s own loneliness.

Right, maybe you could phrase it "how many trans people aren't *actually* trans but just lonely" and then this protects the class of *actual* trans people

Hmm. Most detransitioners experiment for a while and then get "off the train", which I think is a healthy behavior for any developing human. I think this mostly provides evidence for "People who aren't interested in transition quickly desist when the rubber hits the road."

Some detransitioners experience detransition, or a linked event, as traumatic, and then proceed to try to "wall off" the pain, so I think there could also be a "reverse halo" effect in play: Once you decide to reject something, everything of it that warmed you may turn cold.
