Reply To: Detransition

[DeeAnn Hopings]

I should have explained further. The point is how the information is distorted and used. We are led to believe that detransitioning is a significant number, but this is spread for political reasons. However, the truth is that the rate is way down in the single digits. As I remember, studies that I have seen are mostly in the 1% to 2% range for people who detransitioned because it wasn’t helping them psychologically. If a person detransitions due to medical, financial, family, peer pressure or employment reasons, that is different and does NOT mean that the initial decision to transition was wrong. All these are external factors. The thing is, when we see data, pay attention to the source. That says a lot about its validity.
