I fully support them going after their doctors and anyone else who encouraged them to transition. I’ll leave it to them to decide what “going after” entails.

That being said, these people have a knack for turning their problems into everyone else’s problem, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see some sort of moment where those who detransition demand some sort of reparations from the rest of society.

I have limited sympathy. Yes, they are often led astray by people online and their doctors. But can you honestly tell me these people had nobody in their lives telling them this was a mistake? Remember, they brag about using threats of suicide to get what they want.

They weren’t just “groomed”, their own narcissism and arrogance made them tune out people who were actually trying to stop them from making a bad decision, and they were ignored.

You can be led astray, but you also have to take responsibility for ignoring good advice.
