      1/I've complained repeatedly about how LGBT groups simply refuse, in general, to provide anything like accurate information about detransition, desistance, and other subjects that complicate certain narratives a bit. A great example from Stonewall today:https://www.stonewall.org.uk/about-us/news/dispelling-myths-around-detransition …

      2/ In neither underlined case does the linked-to research come close to supporting the claim in question. -The NHS study (well, just an abstract/poster, actually) only counted as detransitioners *those whose case files specifically mentioned transition or regret*. But ask anypic.twitter.com/9rdHQe9pHO

      3/ detransitioner and they will tell you it is quite rare for them to approach their clinicians and explain why they are detransitioning -- rather, they just fall out of view of the system. Lost-to-follow numbers would be extremely useful here, because especially in a situation

      4/ like this involving a national health system, a significant chunk of LTF folks may have detransed. As for the second study, Stonewall is taking results from an entirely different time, place, and (much more gatekeepy) context -- Sweden from 1972-1992 -- and claiming that thispic.twitter.com/Wl9AkDYVVf

      5/can tell us anything useful about the reason present-day people detransition. Of course it can't! And that study's most recent data comes from 27 years ago. Advocacy groups need to start being honest about this stuff! Honest about what we don't know, which is a lot! It's deeply

      6/ irresponsible to pretend we have harder numbers than we really do, especially when you have to go back decades and travel to Sweden to get 'em. Yikes, man.

      Update: Got a thoughtful email from a trans correspondent in the UK that's worth sharing in full (with permission). Cautions against overestimating correlation of LTR and detransing, and asks a good question at the end I'd be curious to hear expert thoughts on.pic.twitter.com/mFNfVtR1D8

      Hey Jesse, chiming in to say I would be included in LTF numbers for at least 3 US clinics where I was prescribed hormones, if they were keeping such numbers. In some cases I moved, in others I found closer/cheaper options.

          In a population with so much homelessness and unemployment, I'm afraid that LTF data is probably not a useful estimate of much at all.
