And even the rare case of transition regret, it’s usually because 1. lack of peer group, 2. social condemnation and 3. your family now hates you.

Not because of the procedure, but because of the assholes around you. (This by one older Swedish study on the subject).

It’s a literal miracle cure. Any sane doctor would jump for it.

Even when it is the procedure, it is generally due to poor results, not the decision to have the surgery to begin with.

Having seen https://reddit.com/r/detrans what you’ve said here seems silly.

Here’s one of the more recent meta analysis papers on it. When people who detransition are asked, the majority of the cite external factors like the ones here.

“Back in 1997, virtually no one had heard of queergender people. I couldn’t find a support system, and I couldn’t figure out how to tell people what I was.”

That would be a big discrepency. The denizens of /r/detrans generally post about contemporary detransitioning rather than detransitions from 25 years ago.

Worth noting that particular subreddit appears to be pretty heavily astroturfed. To the point where some detransitioners created r/actualdetrans to get away from the TERFs.

It’s unlikely the people who detransition because of it would be active on a detrans subreddit, because they would still consider themselves trans, and would instead be in trans subreddits for support.

The three reasons the other commenter mentioned was taken from studies done on the subject.

Because of what? I don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate.
