When I write about detransition, I like to use an estimated rate of between 1 and 3 percent of people who transition. But here's a secret, between you and me: The numbers don't reeeeeally support that. They support a rate of >1%. 2/

The overall research on detransition is still quite weak, and I want to give as generous a reading as possible to the criticsms. So, when I say 1-3%, I'm overweighting studies that show a higher rate, out of caution. 3/

Replying to @e_urq
We still haven't had research that would capture the true frequency of detransition. Like I wouldn't have been included in a lot of previous studies, nor would other detrans women I knew. It would still be small percentage overall but research into detransition could be improved.

It's also possible that more people are detransitioning now as a result of political radicalization/ideological recruitment. It would be worth investigating whether recruitment/propaganda efforts by transphobic groups could drive rates of detransition up a bit.
