Thanks for this OP, it's a very interesting read !

A total of 237 participants were included in the final sample. The large majority was female; 217 female (92%) for 20 male respondents (8%)

I think it's important to keep that in mind, the results for the male cohort are pretty much useless given the size of the sample.

Around half (51%) of the respondents started socially transitioning before the age of 18, and a quarter (25%) started medically transitioning before that age as well.

And here I thought no one was transing children.

Out of the respondents who medically transitioned, 46% underwent gender affirming surgeries.

Damn, that's a lot. I have a lot of respect for people who are able to go so far and then admit they were wrong anyway. I keep thinking I'd be overwhelmed by the sunk costs fallacy and could never go back after something this huge.

[Over ]half of the participants (54%) reported having had at least 3 diagnosed comorbid conditions. [...] The most prevalent diagnosed comorbid conditions are depressive disorders (69%) and anxiety disorders (63%), including PTSD (33%)

Thanks for confirming that the trans cult is preying on traumatized teenage girls.

Forty-five percent of the whole sample reported not feeling properly informed about the health implications of the accessed treatments and interventions before undergoing them. A third (33%) answered that they felt partly informed, 18% reported feeling properly informed and 5% were not sure.

In other words, 82% of them could not actually consent to the interventions. You can't consent if you haven't been properly informed.

[Psychological needs according to the respondents]: learning to cope with feelings of regret (60%), followed by learning to cope with the new physical and/or social changes related to detransitioning (53%) and learning to cope with internalized homophobia (52%)

But they're not targeting young lesbians at all.

Discrimination is the lowest factor, yet TRAs will screech about how they only detrans because of that

I lurk in the detrans subreddit (because it's the most GC place on Reddit, for real) and this matches what I've read there -- for women. Almost all of them recognized their trauma, internalized misogyny, or other mental health issues (autism is a big one) were the reason why they felt that they weren't women.

For detrans men? The big one seems to be that they don't actually pass, and society treats them with suspicion and disgust at worst, and fake "playing along" at best.

Once they accept that this is their life as a trans woman -- being seen and treated like a weird man rather than like a real woman -- they tend to give up on what they now recognize is an impossible dream.

There's also a lot of internalized homophobia among the gay men, but with the straight ones it's usually that they don't pass. Just my observation.

Interesting that "change in political views" is a whopping 40%. Wow.

Holy "change in political views", Batman! is all I'm gna say about that part.

Does "alternatives to treat gender dysphoria" mean exploratory therapy and plain ol' self-love. the stuff that the European and Canadian left is trying to criminalize as CoNvErSiOn ThErApY?

Where's the survey itself/the source?
