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.

Wouldn't be problematic if your existence wasn't being used to kill others. You should work to disassociate detrans with transphobe then. Not strengthen that association.

Don't be so ridiculous. Detrans people are not being used to kill anyone. That's delusional.

You quite clearly are as your existence is used to prevent access to medications required for many, including myself, to survive.

If referring to puberty blockers, you don't "need" them, you want them. You won't die if you don't get them, you're not terminal. Dysphoria isn't cancer. Transition can be done at a later/mature age. But once it's done, it can't be fully undone, which is why it's opposed

I did need them, or well, cross sex hormones. I would've died if I didn't start cross sex hormones at 15. Was extraordinarily close too. I was terminal. Transition can't be done postmortem. The reason I ever turned 18 was because of medical transitioning.

I understand you believe that. I believed it too, once. I really did. In any case, we're clearly not convincing one another here, so take care.
