They are. After this initial #detransition win for hundreds of millions the amount of lawsuits are astronomical. Fake doctors are losing licenses, insurance and hospitals have woken up and will stop butchering the mentally ill for profit.

Detransitioner wins $2 million against New York docs who pushed double mastectomy Varian was awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering and an additional $400,000 for future medical expenses after undergoing a double-mastectomy at age 16.

The dozens of malpractice suits making their way through the courts have nothing to do with bigotry and everything to do with families and children who were lied to, misdiagnosed and permanently injured and disfigured by unscrupulous medical professionals for profit.

This belly grew a human being, starting 10 years ago. These hips have carried a lot and filled out to better accomplish this. This raccoon tattoo was done by Fraea, now of half.moon.tattoo in NS. In memory of 3 very special friends.

This belly grew a human being, starting 10 years ago. I had a 3 days of cell division hand poked over my uterus to mark it's accomplishments and before I had it removed. This tattoo was done by bjørn cross

This booty, wet and scorched from a hot shower filled out over my last break from T. I love the ways my skin rolls and the ways my hips and ass came into themselves over the last 3 years.

Started back on testosterone after 3 years off. After 5 years on. 2 off. 2 on. 3 off. 3 on.
Some thirst traps to track body changes as I start this, my 7th puberty. #t4t #retransition #detransition #nonbinary #genderqueer

Using the #InformedConsent of parents with Munchausen by proxy is a horrible defensive strategy, but so is defending something that is indefensible. #detransition

Totally. Only believe the voices of the survivors in courts in many countries as the avalanche of lawsuits against medical professionals and guardians who intentionally harmed them piles up. #detransition

If children aren’t mentally developed enough to make a decision about a tattoo before 18 common sense dictates they definitely cannot make irreversible decisions like cutting off healthy body parts that most eventually regret. 🤔 #detransition

Florida sues leading medical groups for supporting gender-affirming care The state of Florida is suing several leading medical groups for following the scientific consensus that gender-affirming care is safe and life-saving for transgender youth. Republican attorney general James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, accusing the groups of supposedly violating the RICO Act by pushing "discredited clinical guidelines as 'evidence-based standards of care' to sell memberships." The lawsuit bases the majority of its claims on the 2024 National Health Service report by Hilary Cass, which incorrectly stated there is “no good evidence” for gender-affirming care. The report was immediately debunked for dismissing evidence from over 100 studies that found the care is beneficial by using discredited metrics and theories, while also ignoring the countless other high-quality studies that have findings in support of the care. It is not just the American Academy of Pediatrics — the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the World Medical Association, and the World Health Organization all agree that gender-affirming care is evidence-based and medically necessary not just for adults, but minors as well. Several studies demonstrate that depression and anxiety is alleviated in youth when they socially transition and receive treatment for gender dysphoria. Many other longitudinal studies show that gender-affirming care vastly improve quality of life for people who identify as transgender. Out of 55 peer-reviewed studies, not a single one found that gender transition has negative outcomes. Florida's lawsuit also claims that youth identifying as trans was a "rarity a decade ago" and that gender dysphoria diagnoses have "skyrocketed in recent years." It blames this "social contagion" on "social media, smartphones, a lack of in-person interaction, and other societal ills." Though not directly referenced in the lawsuit, the language mimics the so-called "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" hypothesis, which claims being trans is a "trend" and has long been debunked as junk science. The entire theory is based on a single poster abstract in 2017 by Lisa Littman, who herself has admitted that it is not a formal diagnosis. Poster abstracts are often published when the material is not only too weak to be a journal article, but of insufficient quality to even be accepted for oral presentation at a conference. A 2022 study in ___Pediatrics_ found that out of 91,937 adolescents in 2017 and 105,437 in 2019, the total percentage of those who identified as trans decreased from 2.4 percent in 2017 to 1.6 percent in 2019, which would not support the "social contagion" hypothesis. Researchers concluded that ROGD "should not be used to restrict the provision of gender-affirming medical care." The lawsuit also claims "these feelings usually 'disappear' after youth] reach puberty." This is also false, as a 2021 survey involving 28,000 trans adults in the U.S. found that ****only eight percent had ever detransitioned in their life****, and over****62 percent of those who did only did so temporarily****, citing social stigma. A separate 2023[study in the National Library of Medicine found that over 82.5 percent of those who detransition cite "external factors" such as "pressure from family and societal stigma."

It’s not IF someone is ready to medically #detransition it’s WHEN. The number of lawsuit are a tsunami and we all need to definitely help remove these abusers out of any professional capacity.

Detransition is rare, but it’s driving anti-trans policy anyway Many people who detransition are still gender non-conforming — and their experiences are more complex than gender-affirming care bans suggest.

Researchers say politicians misrepresent and exploit their work on detransition in order to erase trans folks. Don’t believe the right wing hype about #detransition

Detransition is rare, but it’s driving anti-trans policy anyway _This story was originally reported by Orion Rummler of The 19th. Meet Orion and read more of his reporting on gender, politics and policy._ In their campaign for gender-affirming care bans, Republican lawmakers have enlisted a small group of detransition activists — and they have become the public face of these efforts. State laws and proposed congressional bills to restrict gender-affirming care are named after them and they have also traveled the country to share their stories of regret. These detransitioners are speaking out against gender-affirming care in states where they have never lived or accessed the care, said Logan Casey, director of policy research at the Movement Advancement Project, which tracks LGBTQ+ policy. At legislative hearings, their arguments often overpower those of local residents testifying about the benefits of gender-affirming care for themselves or their patients. It’s largely because what they say reinforces preconceived ideas about a slice of medical care that is not only poorly understood, but has also been so maligned. “People who detransition are part of the community and that is part of the experience. Some people do that. And that is more than okay,” said Casey, who is transgender. “But the broader issue here on the policy level is the idea of banning health care entirely out of the experiences of an extraordinarily small group of folks.” The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law estimates that there are 2.1 million transgender adults in the United States — or about 0.8 percent of the country’s population — and a total of 724,000 trans youth. It is harder to calculate the number of detransitioners, and estimates vary widely, but experts agree the percentage is low. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) describes detransition as “proportionally rare” and notes that as more adults identify as trans, it’s expected that more people will also look to halt or reverse their transition. Now, as the federal government pressures gender clinics in blue states and liberal cities to shut down, the Trump administration and influential conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation have elevated detransitioners’ stories and selectively brought these onto bigger stages. Some have pointed out how effective those stories are. “This was a very tough issue, initially. It felt like there was absolutely no way to win,” said Jay Richards, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, at an event on gender-affirming care hosted by the Federal Trade Commission in July. At first, it was hard to get Republican members of Congress engaged, he said. Then, something changed. “When detransitioners started deciding, ‘We’re going to talk about this,’ that changed the game entirely. You can have 12 people making interesting scientific and philosophical arguments and one detransitioner just sort of lays them to waste,” Richards said. One detransitioner who spoke at the FTC event, a 27-year-old mother, described herself as a “victim of medical fraud and abuse” because of the way she felt misled by doctors in the process of deciding to transition as a teenager. Taking testosterone worsened her mental health, she said, and**** not being able to breastfeed her child caused her significant emotional and physical pain.**** Another said that he gradually detransitioned after losing access to support services for homelessness, moving back in with his parents and undergoing extensive therapy. Research shows that experiences like this are part of a larger, complex picture — one that is being ignored by politicians. Detransition is not always based on regret. Some detransitioners experience negative side effects from transition, including surgery complications and hormonal issues. Some do not. And frequently, people who detransition still identify as trans or gender non-conforming. Gender identity shifts are one of the predominant reasons for detransition, whether someone shifts from a binary to a nonbinary identity or once again identifies with their sex at birth. People usually detransition due to a handful of reasons; it’s rarely just one deciding factor. Kinnon R. MacKinnon, a social scientist, has been studying these patterns for years. Gender-affirming care needs to be more holistic to meet patients’ needs, he said. Some patients in his research**** say that clinicians don’t see the bigger picture, either by not considering mental health needs unrelated to gender dysphoria or by thinking of transition as a means to reach a binary or traditional gender expression. In what he believes to be the largest-ever study on detransition, MacKinnon and his team surveyed nearly 1,000 people about the experience. He granted The 19th early access to the data, which has been peer reviewed and will be published in the coming months. > The decisions made by the Trump administration contradict what we see when we study detransition." > Kinnon R. MacKinnon In his study, 33 percent of participants detransitioned due to an identity change, mental health or treatment dissatisfaction. Within this group, some experienced strong regret and said they weren’t well-informed about the risks of gender-affirming care. The Trump administration has shown that it’s only interested in people in this group, MacKinnon said — but theirs**** is only one experience out of many.**** Twenty-nine percent of study respondents detransitioned primarily due to external pressure and discrimination, while 20 percent cited a changing identity without any regret about their initial transition. There is no evidence in his research to support blanket bans on gender-affirming care, he wrote in a recent New York Times opinion piece. The administration’s actions don’t indicate just concern about pediatric care, he wrote, but a wholesale rejection of trans and nonbinary people. “The decisions made by the Trump administration contradict what we see when we study detransition,” MacKinnon told The 19th. In July, at an event titled “the dangers of ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors,” the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission described detransitioners as “survivors” of gender-affirming care. Several detransitioners who spoke at the event also described themselves that way. They shared stories of being harmed or misled by the medical system, experiencing ongoing negative side effects from hormone replacement therapy and not feeling listened to. Their experiences mirror how transgender people are treated at the doctors’ office. Trans and gender-nonconfirming people routinely have to educate their own doctors to get appropriate care, are asked invasive questions, refused treatment or are subject to abuse. The health care needs for detransitioners and transgender people are similar, MacKinnon said, including the need for better research to understand long-term health outcomes of gender-affirming care. The Trump administration’s federal funding cuts for any research involving gender-affirming care or trans people will ultimately harm detransitioners, he said — “A large majority of people who detransition are LGBTQ+, so cutting funds to LGBTQ health research doesn’t make any sense. It’s definitely not going to help people who detransition.” MacKinnon, an assistant professor in the School of Social Work at York University in Canada, has been studying detransition for years. This group faces a lot of stigma and has little to no institutional help, he said. Some who detransition feel rejected from the LGBTQ+ community if they change their minds about their initial gender transition. Others feel that their physicians are afraid of treating them or don’t actually know how to help them. “There's no availability of support or formal recognition of people who detransition and what their needs may be,” he said. Amid that scarcity, “gender-critical” organizations — which reject the validity of trans identities — have stepped in. The founders of Genspect, an advocacy group that opposes medical gender-affirming care and has been identified as an LGBTQ+ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, is among them. In 2022, the Genspect founders created Beyond Trans, which bills itself as an “online support service offering space to reflect on the impact of medical transition.” > There's no availability of support or formal recognition of people who detransition and what their needs may be." > Kinnon R. MacKinnon External forces — like pressure from parents, employers and spouses to stop identifying as trans — are another reason why some people detransition. Experts warn that the Trump administration’s anti-trans policies will make both transgender people and those who detransition feel unsafe and ultimately cause trans people to hide their identities, exacerbating this phenomenon. On his first day in office, President Donald Trump declared that “there are only two genders, male and female.” He signed an executive order that day stating that one’s sex is unchangeable and that gender identity is false. This year, the administration has restricted trans Americans’ access to passports and military jobs, and made it challenging for them to obtain health care and insurance coverage. More trans adults will struggle to access care under new federal policies raising costs. “There will be more people detransitioning when we live in a hostile society that hates trans people,” said Ankit Rastogi, director of research at Advocates for Trans Equality, which administers the U.S. Trans Survey. “That’s rooted in our data.” The U.S. Trans Survey has found that the hardships of living as a transgender person are a primary motivator for detransition. And in MacKinnon’s recent study, about 6 percent of respondents said that they detransitioned due to bans on gender-affirming health care. Data for that study was collected from December 2023 through April 2024. Increasingly, politicians want to prevent trans youth from transitioning or identifying as trans at all.**** In statehouses across the country, Republican lawmakers have resurfaced the same claim over and over: that trans children will “desist” or eventually grow out of being trans, given enough time**** and outside pressure to conform with their sex assigned at birth. But the research from the 1990s that first**** gave rise to this claim has been widely disputed. As one analysis of four frequently-cited studies found in 2018, the oft-repeated claim that “over 80% of transgender children will come to identify as cisgender (i.e., desist) as they mature” is based on research that potentially misclassified subjects as trans and generally lacked context. Studies supporting this claim also underestimate the harm of attempting to delay or defer transition, the analysis found. "From a developmental perspective, a child who is repeatedly discouraged when she earnestly insists on being called ‘she,’ is learning, on a fundamental level, that she cannot trust her own knowledge of herself and the adults she depends on may not value her for who she knows herself to be,” the authors write. For years, conservative politicians and pundits have accused teachers, Democrats and LGBTQ+ adults of indoctrinating or “grooming” children into being trans. That is not true. What is true is that Gen Z is more likely to identify as LGBTQ+ compared to any other generation — and new studies find that young people are defying long-held beliefs about gender and sexual orientation. They feel more flexible about their identities and don’t view them as fixed. Until recently, at least, they felt society was more accepting. Politics has harmed their well-being and their mental health. One study published this summer, based on findings from researchers who followed the lives of 900 young people from 2013 to 2024, shows that gender identity was stable for 80 percent of this group, including trans kids who socially transitioned in childhood. They were no more or less likely to change their gender than their siblings or cisgender peers were. And when they did change their gender, that overwhelmingly involved change to — or from — a nonbinary identity. As young Americans are transforming conventional ideas about gender, they are also shaping the future. Gender non-conformity is becoming more common. More young people are thinking about gender as a concept that is flexible across time, or as something that isn’t anchored in what it means to be male or female.

Administration official blames trans health care for Minnesota shooting - LGBTQ Nation There is no science to back up this claim, but it could be used to further restrict access to health care.

This comes after the Minneapolis local police stated that a trans woman carried out a mass shooting at a Catholic school. That woman may have wanted to #detransition and is not known to have “sought out any form of gender-affirming medical care.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/08/admi... (19/?)

Of those rare people who #detransition, about the same number do it from feeling discrimination or being unsupported as do it from #regret. In other words, #trans hate is harming the same number of people who regret transitioning. While trans care is helping 40 times as many people as regret it.

At least 90 Percent of #trans youth never #detransition. 98% of those who transition are satisfied with their transition. Only 33% of those who detransition are doing it from regret (2-3% who start). "Regret" is important but still rare. So certainly the people who don't regret it are important too?
