"HRT IS BEING FORCED ONTO CHILDREN AND UT HAS AN INCREDIBLY HIGH REGRET RATE" they scream, denying all the facts and the actual amount of people who stop taking hrt (which is roughly 1%), ignoring how incredibly expensive it is, refusing to acknowledge the difficulties in actually finding a doctor to even prescribe it to you at all, and pretending that this button isn't a requirement for literally everyone taking it
the only reason someone would "regret" hrt is if they changed their mind (which yeah, that happens), or they lied and didn't read the box before taking it.
hon, its not the hrt thats dangerous. its you. dont choke on arsenic because it looks like candy
detrans cisgirl after taking the medicine that makes you a man, reading all the benefits risks and side effects of the medice that makes you a man, and telling a doctor that she wants to be a man: "I dIdNt KnOw ThAt ThIs MeDiCiNe WoUlD mAkE mE a MaN!!!!"
i think this can be taken as proof that detrans grifters are lying and almost never actually medically transitioned. because if they did they would know a) that its not actually as easily accessible as they say it is and is not being forcefed to children at the same school they have litter boxes in the bathrooms or whatever, b) that the medicine that makes you transition actually makes you transition, and it does exactly what it says on the tin, and c) that if they hate their male transition so much they can just take estrodiol. instead they're trying to ban estrodiol????? i know transmisogyny is by definition an ideology harbored by the most illogical douchebags ever, but like... come the fuck on
isn't a 1% regret rate also just amazing low compared to pretty much most medical things? especially when paired with how much it improves patients lives? like if any antidepressants had a 99% chance to improve a patients life then no doctor would be against it
no, you're right. hrt and srs are literal medical miracles with how low the regret rate is and how much they save lives by preventing a suicide.
you're at least 20 times more likely to regret other major life decision or medical procedures (ie having a kid, getting a tattoo, going to college, getting joint surgery) than you are to regret medically transition.
plus, the vast majority of "regret" isn't actually people who transitioned and then hated it. its people with transphobic families or partners who find out and abuse them until they stop. its people who struggle financially who can't afford it. its people who discover they're a flavor of nonbinary. its people who for whatever reason pause, and more than 80% of them eventually continue later on when they have more reliable access to it.
in the vast majority of cases, people "detransition" because they're literally being prevented from transitioning from outside factors.
this is why i say the entire detrans movement is a grift. its antithetical to objective reality. everything they say is a lie and has been debunked time and time again. but for some reason they're still taken seriously???
