Detransitioning is apparently rare but they have no figures on how many people detransition.

The correct term here for GD kids not being trans as adults is desistence, not detransition.

If Green is saying that detrans rates apply to minors, where the correct term is desistence, she's being deliberately misleading, maybe even outright dishonest.

I'm pointing this out because TRAs will rattle off low detransition rates in adults after you mention high desistence rates in kids. Most assume readers won't know the difference, and won't pick up on it.

The detrans studies are of post SRS adults who were in therapy for years before surgery, usually with a childhood GD diagnosis.

The desistence studies are looking at how many kids with GD still have GD as adults. They are very different things, and should someone ever conflate them make a point of correcting them.

No one has looked at the desistence rates in these ROGD girls. It's not possible the time frame as been about two years. Anyone who states that this group has been studied for this, at this time, is a lying ******.

Desistence is over eighty percent for kids with a long history of GD going back to early childhood. Something tells me it's going to be close to 100% for this group. But we won't know that for a couple of years until someone counts heads, and a lot of damage will be done by then. Lots of mastectomies, girls with beards and bald heads. . Ovarian cysts from the testosterone and withered uteruses. A lot of them will have been sterilised.

Watch the trans train videos on youtube to see the mess it made of one girl.

SG has no idea why so many girls with ASD are coming out as trans speculates that its because they understand themselves better or have the words to do so.

Probably it's because people like Green have been telling them that because they are gay and butch they must be trans.

Makes her child seem less effed up if masses of others share the condition, I guess.

The things that struck and saddened me about the Pique Project's videos were that the girls were all kinda-dorky lesbian teens who a) saw that transboys got lots of girl attention at school, which of course they wanted too, and b) that tranbsboys on YouTube seemed to have life all figured out with their transition plans, and they felt drawn to such a clear roadmap of how to navigate their tumultuous teenage lives.

The saddest part was the way two of them now laughingly talk about how they bonded as young "gay transmen" over the fact that they had both crushes on girls but that was just because of "compulsory heterosexuality".
