If you are using twitter, you support this.
It’s always hilarious when these “rationalist” chucklefucks point to the 1% of trans people that have regrets, and most of their regrets revolve around their family and “friends” being assholes about it.
I believe the actual figures are 3% of trans people regret transitioning, and 4% of that subset regret it for reasons apart from their friends and family being unsupportive.
So, 97% don’t regret a thing, and the relative few who do simply don’t like being constantly harassed and disparaged by their immediate community.
25% of people regret getting a knee replacement surgery done.
Something that allows one to walk.
People regret transitioning less than that.
Exactly. So, 3 of every 100 people who transition regret it, and of those 3 people, rounding to the nearest whole person, everyone who detransitions does so because of bigots.
Imagine using that logic elsewhere, right? “10% of people with tattoos regret getting a tattoo. Ban all tattoos!!!”
Or if someone wants to be pedantic, 3 in every 2500 people regret transitioning because they essentially felt it wasn’t right for them. That’s 0.12%.
And those three people create videos and amass followings (filled with right-wing shitheads that assure them they’re so brave, Jesus would be proud, etc.) calling to stop transition care for the other 2,497 people for whom it was the correct treatment, simply by virtue of the fact that the three outliers exist.
Because as we all know, we only use treatments that work perfectly for every—oh, wait…
Elon Musk already said that the only reason he bought Twitter is because he blames Twitter on making his daughter trans (mtf) and a communist who calls for the death of billionaires. That is the only reason he purchased Twitter — to kill it.

I wonder if she’s on Lemmy somewhere?
