Comment on Do De-Transitioners validate some right wing talking points?

No. Not at all. If all trans people who transitioned eventually chose to de-transition, it might, but that’s far from the case. This is itself actually a really common right-wing talking point and you aren’t doing yourself or anyone else any favors by bringing it up.

But these people exist right? Do we just invalidate their “Lived Experience”?

Trans “treatments” (hormonal, surgery, etc) are one of the best remedies for a psychological issue. In medical views, the amount of people de-transitioning actually prove that the solution to gender disphoria and such (I easily get confused with the exact terms, apologies if I’m making a mistake with wording) is to let people transition.
In comparison, treatments for other problems (like depression, personality disorders, etc) are much much less successful.
The idea that transitioning should have a 100% satisfaction is absurd and coming from far-right propaganda.

But why then are some countries actually turning away from say…the transitioning of Children such as those in Scandinavia?

Because politics are not science and people are very weird when it comes to children and education.
You cannot seriously believe that a country doing something gives it any kind of credibility, right?
