The irony about the "detransitioning transgender myth"

It's not a secret some of the people that underwent transgender surgery regret that decision. It's hard to come by any unbiased sources. This is also due to not having enough statistical data at hand. But one of the lowest I found was 1% for trans women and less than 1% for trans men. This is often cited by transgender arguing for transitioning children, to support their ideology.

I don't care about grown people but I care about the children. The irony is, that the main argument from the transgender crowd is that it is just a minority. Only 1%. So it's not something of concern. After all, only around 1 from 100 transitioned people, mostly adults because children are (as of now) lower in transition count, regret that decision.

It's just 1% right? Why care?

Example for the United States, where it seems to be pushed the most currently:

Over 1.6 million adults (ages 18 and older) and youth (ages 13 to 17) identify as transgender in the United States, or 0.6% of those ages 13 and older.
Among U.S. adults, 0.5% (about 1.3 million adults) identify as transgender. Among youth ages 13 to 17 in the U.S., 1.4% (about 300,000 youth) identify as transgender.

Rethoric question:
If the pro transgender crowd argues about the regretters being only a minority that should not be weighted to heavy in any discussion, why should the rest of the normal people consider weighting the ~1% transgender minority?


Question to the reader:
What do you think about that? Should the transgender community admit that it is hypocritical to demand protection and help, when it looks like most transgender will be more than happy to ignore the misery for the same % in minority? Does it feel like grandstanding on the backs of vulnerable children to you, or perfectly okm because it's just a minority inside a minority?

If you put a knife for any other reason than live saving on a minor, you're just sick.

I struggle hard to find a way to compress this truth in an even shorter sentence. You nailed it with that one!

It's really that simple, but it seems all to comon to flip flop ones outrage for political gain.
No doubt, the trans communities aren't excluded from that fallacy.

Great OP by TTDA, but there's just no denying the truth of your post.

a reply to: TDDAgain

The entire movement is full of hypocrisy. How dare you come at them with logic like this.

They claim gender doesnt matter because it's a social construct and not biological and gender is fluid but...we should support a child changing their sex because they prefer to act like another gender based on the social construct of said gender.

It truly blows my mind how illogical they are.
