We will be seeing loads of women like this within the next 10 years. Men too, but I’m not as worried about them.

I am already seeing them everywhere. Search on youtube "detransition", there are hundreds of results. 99% of them are women who detransitioned. And these are only the people brave enough to put themselves out in public, I'm sure there are thousands more people like this. I believe the change will come much faster than 10 years from now.

I've been seeing them around a lot too. It's really sad seeing young women on the detrans subreddit lamenting the loss of their formally healthy hair and breasts. Looks are just the tip of the iceberg of course. I hope the change comes much faster than 10 years too, this circus has been hurting too many people since it got trendy.

I read an article a few years back that studied influencing perspectives online - that only 25% of the population saying a message was needed for people to switch over (the study also pointed out people were unable to tell the difference between bots and actual people), but I hope that the more brave detransitioners speak up will open the floodgates to those still to uncomfortable to talk about it.

Would you happen to have the reference for that? I would love to read the paper, I believe it.

it bothers me how a lot of trans people are coming out and acting like detransition is unbelievably rare. This probably was true when they had actual gatekeeping, but with this new model they have, where it is informed consent and affirmation therapy? Yeah, you are going to see a lot more regretters. One of the criteria for gender dysphoria youth is playing with the wrong toys basically. That shoud NEVER be criteria for being trans.

yeah, it was very rare in the days when it wasn't the cool new trend. Now trans is the new goth.
