    Sorry mate, you don’t know much science about the topic. The de-transition rate is actually really low. Like 1-2% low and most of those cases are due to family pressure rather than not being trans.

    That’s not a fad, especially as we’ve got thousands of years of history for trans people and they are in every culture whether that culture is supporting or not.

    Thanks for your support though. Every trans person ought to have someone who if not understands them, at least accepts them.

      From personal experience/observation 1-2% seems low, but moving on. In the last 2 decades the percentage of trans folks in the population has exploded. Its easy to Google to find those numbers. This is to say, “fad” might not be the most appropriate word to use, but either way its popularity has been skyrocketing.

      It kinda irks me how some (you right now) want down play detransitioning so much. Some people need to, 100%. And its wild to watch some start to detransition and then get totally rejected by the trans community, like thrown out onto the streets, metaphorically… imma say this, from my perspective, being trans is fairly rare and special, but it seems like many yahoos want to jump on that bandwagon…I dont know… many people are egotistical and self centered… ill end it there…
