When discussing my desire to transition with mental health workers, they couldn't be any more supportive. It was "very brave." When discussing my desire to detransition with mental health workers, they couldn't be any more uncomfortable. It was "very unfortunate." Why?

Probably because the transition regret rate is much, much lower than the detransition regret rate

I know this because of data. https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf … (it's on page 111, fyi)

As you can see, the majority of people who had detransitioned did in fact go on to transition again. Detransition is also a lot rarer in natal females than in natal males, which could be another reason you don't feel like you were questioned enough.

This doesn't cover after 2015, which is when the vast majority of detransitioners on here & Reddit began speaking out. also, an online survey for *trans* people isn't very well going to attract many detransitioners, is it?

I heavily doubt that there is actually much of a difference between pre- and post-2015. Obviously it did attract a fair share of detransitioners. Its certainly low quality evidence, but I haven't been able to find any other study on retransition, so it's what we have to work with

Very little research has been done on detransition because our existence is deemed problematic. A significant number of TRAs want our stories silenced, so we have no idea what the *actual* regret rate is, unfortunately.
