"Those who transition rarely adopt the stereotypical habits of men (like buying a weight set), only 3% have had a phalloplasty (to create an artificial penis), and only 13% say they want one."
Uh, @HHSkepDoc, fucking yikes.

Oooof there are a lot of outright mistakes there. One example - the article implies that detransition is common and widespread especially among trans men, but the biggest sample to date of 17k people suggests it impacts <15% and is less common for trans men

detransitioing is around 15%? ( i know you said less than.. but i doubt you meant 3% is <15% etc) that is WAY higher than i would have thought. at 3% probably not important..but 15% has huge implications on teen trans issues i think in the broader political conversation

Not detransitioning technically - largest study of the subject found that 13% of all trans people had at some point lived as their assigned sex after transitioning, for any length of time. For the majority, the cited reasons were societal disapprovalhttps://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/lgbt.2020.0437 …

So in this context, someone who had transitioned and then spent two months living as their assigned gender before transitioning again would be counted. Moreover, only a small percentage said that they did this due to internal reasons

Challenge with this evidence is that the sample is extremely selected, even though it is large. Hard to know how this generalizes to the population Still, the article above is incorrect
