#detransitioners — Public Fediverse posts

Over the past few years, right-wing politicians and pundits have been relying on a few vocal #detransitioners who felt betrayed by their medical practitioners when they came to realize that gender transition wasn’t the right path for them.

#Busting the #myths around #transition #regret and #detransition.

How many people regret their decision to receive #genderaffirmingcare? Do people who #detransition always #regret their #transitions?

The few highly public #detransitioners have been weaponized by #religion and/or #hategroups

The #truth about #transgender #people.

Space prohibits addressing all the #damaging #falsehoods given #voice in the Dec. 10 news article “‘#Detransitioners’ wield #influence in shaping #conservative #transgender #laws. We’ll focus on the three worst.

While someone being misdiagnosed as #transgender is rare, it still happens. This is exactly why it’s important for mental-health providers to learn how to better understand their transgender patients, instead of trying to limit or ban access to gender-affirming medical care.

#ROGD returns, now simply #sad, posted on dodgy unscientific journal.

The Transphobic #study ignores #trans, #nonbinary, and #detransitioners, focusing solely on #antitrans parents' views. This leads to notable #samplingbias.

For transgender people, healthcare providers and researchers, detransition is often a taboo topic. For those opposed to gender-affirming care, detransition is a scandal to be weaponized. And for those who detransition, it’s a lived experience — one that can lead to rejection, isolation and neglect.

Consequently, the same few #weaponized #detransitioners are given a vastly #oversized #platform, allowing them to far #overshadow the #stories of tens of thousands of #transgender #people who have positively #benefited from their #transition.

#Detransitioners are often weaponized by #organizedreligion, #farright #hategroups , and #conservative #politicians as a means to advance their #hateful #agendas. This #focus is amplified by #fawning #stories in #rightwing #mediaoutlets, despite multiple #studies indicating that #detransitioning due to #regret is exceptionally rare. (1/2)

"#Detransitioner Wave" Fails To Materialize, #Trans #Regret #Rates Remain exceptionally Low.

In a #commercial for a #special on #detransitioners, #SevenNews featured #ChloeCole prominently. This left many asking: why can they find no one else? The detransition wave has failed to materialize.

"In this study there were 3,398 patients, 16 mentioned regret or detransition.

12 attribute this to social pressure, and only 3 de-transitioned with no intention to transition again.

That’s 3 people from a sample of 3,398 trans people.

That’s 0.088% of people sampled. Literally less than 1 in 1000 people seeking treatment to aid transition." https://www.gendergp.com/risk-into-perspective-for-trans-patients/
