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…
The number of trans people has exploded! But this is more to do with it being socially acceptable. It’s like being left handed Long story short, gender dysphoria and people being trans has always been a thing, but with more acceptance comes more visibility
Detransitioners get a bad rap that they don’t deserve. But that comes from people using their detransition to fight against trans rights. I’ve never met someone who’s detransitioned, but I wouldn’t ever hold it against them. It’s incredibly hard to transition either way, and many of those support networks exist for trans people, but not for those who transition to their sex at birth.
Most people who detransition don’t hold bad opinions towards the trans community though and sometimes they are still non-binary even if they aren’t medically transitioning.
If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any experience with someone who has detransitioned?
