Don't confuse desist with detransition. Not the same thing.

Desistance is when kids grow out of gender dysphoria.

Detransition is when adults who used medical interventions to look like the opposite sex stop the hormones and start presenting as their actual sex again.

Desistance is typically about 85% in the old research looking at the kids who presented with GD prior to 2015. We've no idea what it's going to be in ROGD girls . I'm guessing closer to 100%. There's been no research at all.

The current ROGD wave is rather fudging the difference between them, as they aren't being given time to see if they desist before they are transitioning. 15 year olds with mastectomies...

Adult regret and detrans is unclear as hell because the research only looks at SRS cases and has massive issues with failing to keep track of post op patients and time frame of the studies.

Next time you argue with a TRA be sure to pick them up for subbing post op detrans data for children's desistance rates. They do it all the time.

Thanks for pointing this out and for the additional points of research.

Any research to anything that questions the affirmation model seems to be deemed transphobic and shut down. Worrying and does not seem to have actual best interest in mind. Breaks my heart knowing young women (and men) are receiving irreversible surgeries being fully supported without any questioing.

I was stunned when I read about the lack of follow up with patients, really shows the lack of actual care for people, in my opinion anyways.

Thanks again for the clarifying and info!
