How very strange and unexpected that, even though you are very interested in informing people about regret rates and informed consent of medical interventions, you’ve only chosen to actually do so for one of the least problematic interventions following your criteria. I wonder why?
Can you share a single comment of yours doing this same thing for another medical intervention?
So you just want to spread knowledge? Again, why not focus on the issues of informed consent and regret rates of the hundreds of medical interventions that are talked about much less? Why do you focus on the one intervention that’s doing the best in those areas, and that is already talked about every day?
Because there is nothing here to discuss. You bring up the same old tired talking points which are always brought up by transphobes:
“They aren’t telling patients about the risks and dangers, I just want them to be properly informed!”, when the whole point of the long waiting times and intense process before anything medical happens is explicitly because of this issue. There is no other medical intervention with anywhere close to this amount of information, but it’s still not enough, even if you can’t put into words why.
“So many people regret transitioning!”, when literally almost every other medical intervention has much high regret rates (yes, even higher than the 13% you pulled out of wherever). You’re also leaving out that the biggest reason for detransitioning is missing social acceptance.
What other points did you bring up? As I said, it’s the usual bullshit, packaged in the usual “just asking questions”. If your issue is informed consent or regret rates, why not focus on one of the hundreds of medical interventions with higher rates? Why focus on the one with incredibly low rates?
If your issue is regret of medical interventions, why are you focussing on one of the medical interventions with the lowest regret rate? Why not invest your time in one of the many other interventions with massively bigger regret rates? The easy and obvious answer is that you have issues with trans people, and you haven’t given any explanation when I asked you multiple times, strongly supporting that thesis.
Even 13% is much lower than most medical interventions. Why do you not know this? If you do, why do you lie about it?
Why don’t you want people to know the truth? Why are you going Elon here? What are you trying to hide?
Wow, you really can’t scroll up? Fine, here’s your previous comment:
Weird how you left out the links of studies, reports of people that actually do regret it. I mean should we just ignore those people?
If you want kids to be able to make these decisions, you will have to inform them. Properly. Not just paint them a nice picture. That’s what you’re currently doing. Not informing them and painting nice pink pictures.
It is not sunshine and rainbows for everyone. There are trans people who regret it. Ignoring that fact is being dishonest with yourself and the transcommunity.
Not sure why you’re telling me I didn’t mention some 13% number, when I didn’t mention any numbers at all. Yet it’s even more weird that you’re not bringing up that even those 13% are lower than most other medical interventions. Again, why do you keep focusing on trans topics, when other medical interventions have this issue to a much larger degree?
Why do you want to diddle small children/spread anti-trans rhetoric?
Implying that the current levels of informed consent aren’t enough to properly inform people, and further implying that large amounts of regret exist due to transitioning, is without question anti-trans.
Well, you’re posting anti-trans rhetoric (talking about regret rates without mentioning that they are much lower than almost any others, talking as if people weren’t well-informed about the risks during the multi-year process it takes to transition etc). I can quote your whole post back to you if it helps you? But you can just scroll up and read your own comment, it’s a neat function of messaging boards.
So requesting you be honest and fully inform kids is pedophiliac tendencies? You do get how this makes you look? Right?
No, I’m talking about your kiddy diddling/anti-trans rhetoric. Why do you diddle kids/spread anti-trans rhetoric?
The rate of regret for transition is massively lower than almost any other medical intervention. Why do you care so much about this one specific type of intervention, above all others? Why not invest your activism into medical interventions with much higher rates of regret?
And why do you choose to spend time on your pedophilic tendencies/anti-trans activism?

Chihuahua, or Blueberry Muffin?
Management has to be held personally responsible. That’s why they make so much money, right?
Producing multiple pigments to absorb more colours is very expensive, and the chemical reactions only take a certain amount of energy, anything beyond is converted into heat (which is bad for water retention).
Nah, in hunting mode they suddenly get huge. I assume it’s to improve tracking in low light conditions.
That pawprint is amazing
We did that in Germany, and it’s now contaminating groundwater, as the very deep hole is flooding with water.
That’s not fair. You didn’t mention at least 5 different women with bare feet!
I live in Europe, and somehow my toilet gets blocked every couple of months. Might have to just clean it properly with a spiral, but so far the plunger has always worked.
Just don’t be too aggressive. There will be backsplash.
I don’t think you are telling the truth, but in case you are: I am sorry that this happened, and that both you and the young people went through this.
How do you know? Were all those cases not properly reported?
I sincerely hope that you reported those medical professionals for malpractice, as they apparently didn’t follow the existing laws and regulations. Did you do that? What came out of it?
How do you come to terms with the effect your own behavior has on trans people? You are asking to make transitioning even harder, even though the process is already extremely long, especially considering the danger of suicide non-transitioned trans people have. You might have saved those 11 young people from their fate, while condemning hundreds of other young people to suicide by preventing them from transitioning earlier.
Since transitioning already has such a long process before anything happens, and the statistics show a marked decrease in suicide rates while also showing extremely low levels of regret (with most regret being caused by social non-acceptance), you’re asking for (and causing) more trans people to die. Sorry, but there’s no way around that fact.
