    They posted a newsweek article and I shared what amounts to at least thousands of people who regret transitioning.

    You’re upset because regretting transitioning doesn’t align with what you like. You literally want to ignore people who regret transitioning like the right wants to ignore trans people.

    Congrats, you’re a bigot.

        Lol. I feel bad for the people de-transitioning who have to deal with people like you constantly trying to belittle and deny their existence.

        Ironic how quickly you resort to bigoted tactics as soon as they suit your goal.

      Last I checked PubMed was a far better source than Newsweek or Reddit. (The comment isn’t even edited so I’m assuming you just skipped the part with the sources)

      You posted a link to a Reddit community which won’t even load for me. I assume what you claim “amounts to at least thousands of people who regret transitioning” is the amount of people subscribed to that Reddit community. If I understood correctly that would indeed not amount to “at least thousands of people who regret transitioning”. Instead it would show the number of Reddit accounts subscribed to the community. Some of which are likely individuals who regret having transitioned, many others are people interested in hearing about it and/or excited to make fun of what is posted and there could also be bots artificially inflate the number.

      Posting a community name/link does not equate to a number of people in the group that the community is aimed at and it most certainly is not indicative of the people that actually exist in the group.

        Yeah, just ignore everything you don’t like.

        The people who regret transitioning don’t matter because you don’t want them to matter.

        Scrub them from existence the same way the right wants to scrub trans people from existence.

          I don’t think you understood what I wrote.

          I’m not ignoring the post of a link to a community, I’m telling you that I prefer scientific studies and think that what one study based on asking >27000 individuals and another paper based on many more studies is more relevant than you trying to express that something exists in a lazy unclear way. Statistically there are only very few people who regret their choice of transitioning. Those who did chose to do it themselves (or something very illegal happened in which case I banning it wouldn’t change it).

          I’m tempted to post a link to a trans community to show you irrelevant you would think it is. But I think those communities wouldn’t appreciate it if you popped in and commented on their wholesome posts with your thoughts about transitioning based on your reddit anecdotes.
