LOLs on your "Righty 'thought process':' decide - exaggerate generalizations - lose shit - reverse all of. conix, on the gender identity trans question is just like just another ignorant dropdeadfred antivaxxer on the covid vaccines issue. Obsessive, railway track rigid thunking replaces thinking. Uncaring about all the pain and suffering they encourage, and bring about.
Yes, we know there are zealots on about every goddamn human issue and we know it has taken - is taking - time to get good guidelines on transitioning in place. And we know there are unscrupulous practitioners around, in it only for the dollar. And we know there are always sad cases of regret. In what field human endeavor hasn't there always been all those things. And failures.
From yours this outlines it as it is:
"Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret. For some, regret was temporary, but a small number went on to have detransitioning or reversal surgeries, the 2021 review said.
Research suggests that comprehensive psychological counseling before starting treatment, along with family support, can reduce chances for regret and detransitioning.
WHAT IS DETRANSITIONING?
Detransitioning means stopping or reversing gender transition, which can include medical treatment or changes in appearance, or both.
Detransitioning does not always include regret. The updated transgender treatment guidelines note that some teens who detransition “do not regret initiating treatment” because they felt it helped them better understand their gender-related care needs.
Research and reports from individual doctors and clinics suggest that de-transitioning is rare. The few studies that exist have too many limitations or weaknesses to draw firm conclusions, said Dr. Michael Irwig, director of transgender medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "
Those as conix and ddf seem to have a real problem dealing in a no bullshit, fact as we best know them now, reality environment. They feed as vultures.
