    A very small percentage of people who transition ever choose to detransition. Further, a very small percentage of people who detransition report that their reasons for doing so included that they weren’t actually transgender. The vast majority of people who detransition do so because of outside pressure from their community and not because they think they were wrong to transition.

      yeah, that’s what i’ve always understood it as.

      The fact that people detransition, because the pressure of it is less than being trans is fascinating to me. I’m sure psychs and sociologists are having a field day with that considering it’s a rare opportunity to get a pretty specific view into an incredibly complex topic such as social cohesion, and self expression.
