The amount of people who detransition is incredibly small compared to the overall trans population, and even then most people detransition because society didn’t accept them and battered them down until they gave up.

I take that as a yes, people can be wrong about themselves and who they are.

People can be wrong about literally anything. That is not an excuse to say “fuck everyone else in this group.”
If you extend this argument, we shouldn’t believe what anyone tells us about absolutely anything because they might have made a mistake. Truly a great basis for human society.

Why would you presume that questioning someone’s beliefs would mandate to treat them like shit? What a bizarre worldview. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, whatever they believe.
But your beliefs about the world do not dictate my beliefs about the world. That is surely not a hard concept to grasp?

Because there’s an explicit bias in your questioning. You wouldn’t question if I’m really cis-hetero, but you would question of I’m reeeeeeeeally gay or trans, even thought I’m sure there are more people who come up publicly as gay after having children than there are trans detransitioning.
This is the same as the maga mentality, where any man in a position of responsibility is accepted by default, but for women they demand justification for the role.

People are wrong constantly about which career they’re best suited for but there isn’t a huge controversy about letting people choose that for themselves

Wow you don’t sound like you have a prejudiced opinion at all!

Ok. Do you have an argument you would like to discuss or is it just name calling today?
Janx@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
That’s not a name. Also, you clearly entered into an argument just looking for any excuse to justify that opinion..
