Transphobes tell us over and over that detransitioning is all over the place, there's hundreds of thousands or millions of detransitioners - and yet they only know about the one or two political operatives circulating on right-wing media. And they can't point to any peer-reviewed study showing detransition due to not actually being transgender (as opposed to detransition because of poverty or discrimination) is more common than being struck by lighting.

Even Joe Rogan had to correct pedophilia-activist Matt Walsh that he had inflated the number of teens on puberty blockers by a hundred times what it actually is. They don't care about facts.

You know you're really spewing bullshit when Joe Rogan is fact-checking you.

Idk, I’ve seen him do it lots. During the whole anti-vax thing he real time fact checked a lot of people. They’d make a claim and he’d tell his dude to look it up and debunk the claims right there. It’s one thing I don’t think he gets enough credit for.

He should learn to fact check himself

For real he should. I am not a fan, I find him arrogantly ignorant, but I have a coworker that watches him on YouTube constantly and I have seen him pull fact checks on quite a few people. Was rather surprised.

Maybe but the fact checking on Matt Walsh was utterly spectacular.

Ironically, there's a study posted to /r/science near the top right now that puts the regret rate around 0.3%. That's better than most surgery.

Semi-true: that study is showing people who decide to get their surgery reversed. People express regret at around a 2% rate for gender-confirming surgeries…compared to around 13% for elective surgeries in general, so still way, way better.

That is true for this study. There are other studies that show the largest cause of medical regret in gender affirming surgery comes from social pressure as opposed to internally based regret though.

Depressingly laughed at peer-reviewed study. Anti-education, anti-science people would only double down if they saw something of that nature.

Well obviously your aren't going to have thousands wanting to go on media tours. If you want to get a better gauge then look at how many are suing in class action lawsuits.

In the UK a large number of suing the NHS, plus the Tavistock clinic which was responsible got closed down as a results and reviews are ongoing.

The source is tabloid yellow journalism - no '1,000 families' EVER materialized. The number was a complete lie, you can't google it and find any source actually corroborating a number or names that isn't quoting anonymous 'lawyers'. You only find that The Times article that originated it, and various rightwing and Christian evangelist op-eds repeating it. And the Tavistock clinic was set to be replaced with multiple new gender clinics to handle higher capacity.

How many was it then?

It was in left and right wing papers.

It feels like you are trying to rewrite history about why it closed. It was closed due to reviews about it's failing. It wasn't just closed to make room for more centres.

The type of treatement and aproach needed to be completely changed.

Pick whatever left wing paper you want and read their articles on Tavistock.
