A medical procedure shouldn't be the mistake of the patient when the doctors should verify medical necessity.

All diagnoses have a false positive rate.

Blaming the victim in a case like this is ridiculous, this is a form of medical malpractice with the fault being passed to the patient automatically by nature of the condition, fuck that. Providers of trans healthcare can and should be doing better, stop resisting progress

If we can do better why is everyone so resistant to just hearing and learning more? The automatic doubt and disowning of all of us is creating these falsely low rates of detransition because NO ONE IS COUNTING US.

They counted and you didn't like the numbers. I'm all for them counting again, more carefully, but I expect you not to like the numbers then, either. You'll tell me there's a real, hidden number out there somewhere. Because you'll only believe a result that agrees with you.

They didn’t count me. Show me the proof behind number you’re so positive is accurate.

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.
