Your response and ID explains a lot. Statistics on detransitioning are tracked and they are very few. 97% of people who medically transition are happy with it and of the 3% who detransition, most do due to social or family pressure. Not because they think they made a mistake. You’re wrong about the biology. I have a female AR Gene which controls my testosterone processing. I may have others. I also have the pelvic angle of a woman and a pelvic structure which is a bit ambiguous. As to DNA testing, there are women who are XY in their chromosomes who develop as women and never know it. Morris syndrome and Swyer syndrome are two examples of this. The point is that the world is not as binary as you seem to believe. Whether by willful ignorance or being conditioned, you seem to be unable to grasp this. With regard to young children, no one is telling girls and boys that they should double check to see whether they feel like girls and boys. What is being done is, if a child feels like a different gender than the way they are treated they are encouraged to express themselves. To see how beneficial this is to trans children you might try reading some of the better biographies out there. Becoming Nicole is particularly well written. The simple fact is that children develop better when their gender dysphoria is identified early and they are allowed to express themselves. Many people think young children are too uneducated or immature to understand themselves. This has repeatedly been shown to be incorrect. As to medical and surgical intervention, it is rarely done before the age of majority and medical intervention in the form of puberty blockers is always done first. Trans children are often severely traumatized by being forced to go through the wrong puberty. Slowing things down and then providing HRT to allow development which matches their gender is best practice.

You really need to do some more research provided by objective sources. You’ve been given some misinformation somewhere along the line. Many of your facts and opinions are typical of the gender critical crowd. They only read their own propaganda. I don’t listen to any of it on either side. I read medical sources from such places is the Mayo Clinic, NCBI, UCSF, the Cleveland Clinic, and the American Psychological Association. These are the scientists and medical professionals who do the research and are trained in best practice. They have no political or ideological motivation, just the best interest of their patients at heart. I am a scientist by training who later went into law. I have three medically related degrees and spent much of my younger life working in hospitals. Your comments seem to be becoming very TERFy all of a sudden. Such ideologues cannot be reasoned with.
