elierlick:bugsluv:elierlick:Sure, detransition is real. The vast majority of people who detransition do so because of trans antagonism, not because they were pressured into transitioning in the first place. Most of the detransitioners I know are fully supportive of the trans community. Many of them even plan on transitioning again later in life. Hope it’s okay that I add to this. As someone who detransitioned, I personally did it due to my parents, extended family, and other people in general. Also, having no support or anyone who wanted to even try to understand. I was too afraid of other people hurting me, so I didn’t reach out more. I just tried to white knuckle it and bottle up all of that pain. After 3 years I thought “is this going to be my entire life? Alone except for people who just add to my pain? Afraid of everyone?” I couldn’t do it anymore. I was just a kid. I couldn’t handle the cruelty. Thank you for sharing! And for the people asking, this study is from the National Center for Transgender Equality, which surveyed nearly 28,000 people. The results are skewed, of course, but this is still considered the best data we have by research professionals. -- source link
