Key takeaways
>Survey sample was 957 people from the ages of 16 to 75 (average participant age was mid-20s). 79% of participants were AFAB.
The paper identified four types of detransitioner:
>Detransitioning with regret (Class A) - Largely internally-motivated detransition due to treatment dissatisfaction, mental health factors, and gender identity/expression changes. Composition was 89.9% AFAB and 9.8% AMAB.
>Identity evolutions (Class B) - Predominantly identity-evolution detransition, often with treatment satisfaction and little/no regret; External barriers (cost, support, discrimination) were not prominent. Composition was 87.1% AFAB and 11.8% AMAB.
>Transition ambivalence (Class C) - Complicated/ambivalent detransition driven by both external factors (discrimination, romantic rejection, lack of support) and internal factors (neurodivergence/mental health and identity shifts). Composition was 75.8% AFAB and 24.2% AMAB.
>Interrupted gender transitions (Class D) - Interrupted gender transitions with pauses attributed to external factors (discrimination, limited access, lack of support), not internal factors or identity shifts. Composition was 62% AFAB and 38% AMAB.
Overall:
>AFABs detransitioned due to internal factors while AMABs detransitioned due to external factors.
>AFABs detransition at a higher rate than AMABs; however, the survey needs a larger sample size to determine if this is true.
>Binary trans men are most likely the rarest transgender group, as most AFABs end up detransitioning into nonbinarism or cisgenderism.

Does the first point mean that the data is extremely skewed?
>>
>>41726677
I think its pretty significant. This is showing AFABs need to grt gatekept way harder than AMABs.

Also why were the study participants so skewed? There are tons of MTFs out there. They could have had equal representation.

>Also why were the study participants so skewed? There are tons of MTFs out there. They could have had equal representation.
there is literally 10x as many ftm troons than mtf. thats why, and thats also why most detransitioners are afab. women who misattribute their sexusl trauma for being transgender far outnumber actual transgender people
>>
>>41726689
God damn the puberty blockers chart. It's almost like women anxious about becoming women are trying to find ways out of it rather than actually having dysphoria.

What's really happening is:
>stop me from growing tits, im scared of becoming mature

Vs.

>stop me from growing tits, i should have a male chest
>>
>>41726773
There are not 10x that’s actually crazy. Maybe 10x trenders but not 10x

Women are permanent children so they easily fall for propaganda. Some are so retarded they genuinely think they are trannies. A woman will say something like
>I played with fire trucks as a kid
and some other retarded woman will convince her that she is trans. 5 years later? Detransition. Low agency retards, they genuinely need to be wrapped in metaphorical bubble wrap (no internet access, not taught to read unless they're autistic, no voting rights etc.)
All for their own good of course
>>
>>41726689
>Class D recalled very low social and medical transition regret scores, satisfaction with medical treatments, and a longer timeline from the age of realization to starting transitioning in comparison to the other three classes. While Class D shares many similarities with other classes, D is inarguably unique in their strong endorsement of externally-driven detransition and low scores on other factors.

Nothing on sexual attraction or age of transition?

check the questionnaire in supplementary material, it's kinda iffy and not too specific about stuff like motivations or like differences in identification
like here >>41726815 and age of realization >>41726689 makes it seem like most detrans are young trend hoppers for real
>>
>>41726853
The study clearly says that the Class A block detransitioned because they didn't feel content with being "male", not that they suddenly went scorched earth on all trans people. They could identify as nonbinary, or just as cis. Detransitioner =/= hitlerite TERF.

they hate being female because they are talking eachother into it. they sit around and have a bitchfest over the most minute greviences, blow them completely out of proportion, then decide they must be trans. the way they are actually treated by society doesn't factor into it. There is nothing objective going on here, its all vibe decision making.

total AFAB death Now. the sooner we get rid of them the better optics will improve for transsexuals in the future. whoever implied in the past that transsexuality was strictly a mtf phenomenon was right, thus i guess younger me who used to think this way before i found out pooners were a thing was right as well. all afabs can ever be are cissexuals with several additional labels, but never transsexual.

afabs are truly evil spoiled privileged creatures. theres no way theyll ever experience an ounce of the dysphoria that actually makes transitioning for trans women a matter of life or death. this is proven right time and time again

>>41726339
trvth nvke

i think that currently the only way for trans rights to progress is to accept this fact and go back to when "trans" only implied the existence of MtF. we cant trust afabs anymore with such detransition rates, so unless they do something to prove that they arent here just to ruin everyone elses optics (like the very few trutrans FtMs who are stealth and are never loud about it) i think they should be thoroughly excluded.

we truly need to get a huge amount of people to come to terms with the fact that they are fundamentally cis and that its okay that they are. that way, they will no longer threaten optics or the community.

>>41726778
>stop me from growing tits, im scared of becoming mature
ha everyday i find more proof that maybe my "dysphoria" isnt real at all and it might just be that im permanently mentally stuck at the age where i developed instead of being mentally an adult woman like i should be. wish there was a way to fix this. if only i had been prescribed bica wayyy before it became too late... sigh.

>>41726851
>treating them like literal infants won't make them want to transition to male
thats the point! maybe its better that way. evidently, most of these people are okay with being women anyway, so as long as it remains like that it should be great.

explain how transsexuality is a strictly AFAB phenomenon in a way that doesnt circle back into being disturbed by body development during puberty (normal and happens to everyone) or any form of internalized misogyny.

doesnt matter. it said what it said. its Over for theyfabs

Fuck springer. Here’s the actual study.
https://files.catbox.moe/rpqy4l.pdf
The majority of the sample is under 24 and half of the sample never transitioned.

They are counting people that wore a dress for a few days and changed their mind as detransitioners.
This is worthless.

>>41727734
>people that wore a dress for a few days
remember that the largest amount of detransitioners were afab according to these studies, not amab. dont blame them for this bullshit. and even if they werent counted, afabs would still be the largest number of detransitioners. it wouldnt change anything at all.

Did you pay attention to anything in the OP or the article? Look at the explanation for group D. Then look at the "hormones" graph in the upper right in umaruchan's post. Look at the probability values for those, compare with puberty blockers chart for reference, then tell me what you see.

>>41726851
>I'm sure treating them like literal infants won't make them want to transition to male so they can escape that.
No, you don't understand just how deep this goes. They're women, tell them every day that their life is great this way and they will whole heatedly agree. You still have to take care of them and provide for their needs but they will be happy like that as long as you reassure them that it is the case.

This study isn't an optics nuke at all though. It's proving that most people who access medical transition are true trans.

Look at the actual data and read the whole thing.

well at least im one of the only theyfabs willing to speak against my own kind though! at least i acknowledge that futa porn and degeneracy are the main things creating these feelings within me that other people would choose to label as "dysphoria" without it being actually that. at least i accept the fact that i am faketrans and dont try to justify otherwise like many people do before deciding that they are not and detransitioning. such frauds! unlike me of course.

also they don't discern between social detransitions vs. medical ones, I wonder how many in group D are just manmoders for ex.

>flyers were distributed to sexual and gender minority organizations and gender care providers, and paid advertisements were promoted on social media
So the study was limited to the subset of people who visit those sorts of places and/or got targeted by the right algorithms. This is just a study of people who voluntarily go to pronoun circle meetups and don't use adblockers, no shit it was all theyfabs. That selection bias makes it impossible to draw any real conclusions about the broader trans population.
There's also the simultaneous obsession with AGAB and complete failure to distinguish between binary and nonbinary participants, as if the original etiology of a theyfab who "detransitioned" after cutting her hair is essentially the same as that of a normal trans person. That just isn't a workable scientific model, you can't just pretend that differing etiology isn't even a possibility and just roll with the assumption that all of the random-ass subjects you've collected are magically part of the same natural grouping.
Imagine if the money that went into this study had been used on actually helping trans people. But nah, let's focus on coddling a bunch of retards who can't make decisions for themselves, that's so much more important. Cis "people" should be gassed.

its actually because they cant handle not being the victim for once. they miss the comfort their perpetually victimized afab status gave them, and are in turn defensive and transmisogynistic about it. good riddance if theyre no longer on hrt after detransitioning, but something needs to be done for these people to stop thinking they still have anything to do with the trans community after that.

>that's obviously because being a trans woman (male manly man) is so hard!
also this makes no sense, you sound ridiculous. what is hard is being a woman, so of course its gonna be hard being one when people either see or dont see you as one and treat you as less than one.

>>41728096
yes they do, they specifically asked about start of trans identification/realization, start of social transition, and start of medical transition
but the questions are vague enough to not really be helpful in getting a more specific picture of like if they pass or girlmode/boymode or onset of cross-sex feelings vs knowing they're trans, start of hrt vs start of signing up for medical treatment, diy vs official, and so on
u can deduce the breakdown in the graphs, but they won't release the data
overall group d has a longer trajectory and everyone starts social transition before medical, but like I said social is p loosely defined in the questionnaire and can mean like pronouns >>41726815 here for the mean start time from realization
also note age of realization here >>41726689 and hormones vs surgeries
the reason it's not good is cos of the sloppy methodology and lack of specificity in the questions

Ok disclaimer, I'm pro-trans, this thread sucks, but idk where else to say this, I'm just drunkenly shouting into the void.

I'm a bisexual cis woman and had a 'questioning phase' a good 5+ years ago. I've always felt more comfortable and 'safe' when adopting masculine appearance and mannerisms, and always felt more safe flirting with girls than straight guys. So at one point in my life I questioned whether maybe I was just a dude.
That changed when I got into a relationship with a straight man I trusted, and realised that all of those behaviours were out of fear. Fear of what, I hadn't quite connected yet. All I knew is that I felt safe being read as feminine when I was around him.
That relationship ended a while back, and in the time since I've confronted the fact that I was sexually abused by a man as a child, and that I was adopting masculinity as a sort of shield, because it didn't feel safe to be female. But without a male in my life, that feeling has come back. My attitude has gotten more broey, my hair more dykey, my walk more aggressive. And now the algorithm's gone and served me an ad for binders and packers featuring an all female-presenting cast, not a boymoder in sight.
And I don't live in the house I was abused in anymore. I could order any fucking thing I like and not be found out. I could buy this shit and wear it and feel safer for it. I thought about it for a long time when I still lived there but never worked out a way to do it. But now I could.
But that's going down a fucking path. Not a path to any sort of medical intervention, I'm terrified to even get a checkup. But down a path of becoming my own safe space, becoming my own protection, becoming my own boyfriend, the next thing you know I'm living in the middle of nowhere with a fucking soccer ball named Wilson, slowly and voluntarily substituting every facet of humanity I could possibly desire to preserve, so long as it's on my terms. And part of me wants that.

No I mean the end of transitioning. The methodology explicitly states they're solely investigating shifts of identity:
>Study adverts, the study website, the informed consent form, and the survey explicitly used the word “detransition” and mentioned examining shifts in identity after transition and retransition. [sic]
For a study that'll inevitably be used to argue against medical transition, it's not fair. Grifters like Ritchie Herron "detransition" socially but stay on HRT. Anyways yeah it's slop like you said, not like adding more burning tires to the pile will make a difference.
>>
>>41731571
this is why: if you don't consume copious amounts of media about being a man, transforming into a man, fantasize and daydream about being a man socially, physically, and sexually, you shouldn't transition
it's that simple, gender as a social performance vs. sex as a realized existence
gender thinkers taught us that masculinity/feminity are social constructs ascribed to a particular sex, and that neither should define the physical role which we occupy

>>
>>41732642
yeh, but I mean u can deduce it all by the timelines, take group d for instance, means for realization to social to detransition is 8.42 and realization to medical transition is 8.48 which then implies on average they start medical transition after social detransition, and then continue for about 5 years
so they do discern between them but in a way that makes no sense and seems almost contradictory
but since overwhelmingly 'social transition' happens years in advance of medical transition it calls everything into question
now it's all muddled and looks like it spells out a situation where ppl in group d do 4 years rle before hrt, and like... does anyone believe it???

For me it's like a dream that never came true and I feel foolish for believing it ever could come true but I don't blame others or think there was a grand conspiracy out there which manipulated me.
Maybe I'll identify as a man out of convenience because that's the category that everyone will place me in but I won't just suddenly start embracing manhood.
