You really, really don't, and you've displayed your ignorance this entire time. Being detrans doesn't give you any more insight about trans people than "ex-gays" have about gay people If you started listening to trans ppl & actual experts, you'd be much better informed 1/2

You don't seem to understand how research works. They count a sample, and find a rate. There's something called "error" which means the extent to which you can be confident the rate generalizes to the fully population.
There have been numerous studies of trans care that showed a less than 1% regret/detransition rate, centered around AMABs who returned to the closet due to stigma. A few have shown something a bit higher, 1-5% or so.

While these are each, individually, imperfect studies, taken together it's unreasonable to expect a new study will find huge uncounted numbers of detransitioners.

There's no support for the belief that this is a large percentage in any of the data. It's a matter of faith for you, but people who judge based on evidence can't go there with you.

Studies that have purported to quantify regret either have ridiculous definitions of regret (like, they looked for the word "regret" in the chart) or lots of loss to follow up, and often both. There is no good data on detransition.

I just wanted to add this here as well, since I couldn't link. Detransition also involves monetary costs, social changes, and most do not opt for reversal procedures ( eg. Detrans AMAB opting for phalloplasty ) as they have poor success rates. Also, in many cases, they (1/2)
