Trans people detransition all the time- they're the majority of detransers. The stigma was too much, they lacked support, or it was just harder than they realized. Years later they retransition. Most of your detransitioner followers will too, if they're at all representative.

That may have been true when most of the ppl transitioning were older adults - the range of options post transition was narrower for a start. With the new generation of very young (women in particular) transitioning / detransitioning ppl it seems much less likely.
My buddy retransitioned. He's slightly older than these young detransers, but sounded a lot like them. He still had dysphoric feelings sometimes, but tried being a man in college and it never felt right. After he found a supportive partner and a job he loved he retransitioned.

Another person I know- a friend of my wife's- hasn't retransitioned and maybe never will. But she doesn't claim she was wrong to try it- says she still feels like a man in a dress a lot, but she feels in-between genders and it's easier to present as a cis woman than explore that.

So, my experiences have made me skeptical of detransitioner narratives, esp from young people who may have more growing to do. Doesn't mean I'm right and you guys are wrong about the phenomenon tho. Some solidly done research would help a lot.
