Please share where you got those numbers from, I'm sure there's a good laugh to be had about how anybody got that "one third" figure.
A minor side note: Stopping hormones does not mean someone has stopped transitioning or is detransitioning. It just means they've stopped taking hormones.
Second side note: Detransitioning doesn't mean the person isn't trans either, it just means they've stopped transitioning.
Third side note: Just stopping hormones without talking to your doctor about it is a reeeeally bad idea. I'd be surprised if the number of these "under the radar" people was even on the same level as known detransitioners.
- brnt 4y agoThese numbers are published by Dutch health authorities, and confirmed in the article at [1]. Nobody argues trans people should be stopped, but it is argued that mental healthcare preceding such a proces must be significantly improved. A lot of teens are transitioning, and their bad self image and self hate, inflamed by heavy social media use and the extremely well documented adverse effects on mental health of social media, are, it seems, too often channelled into this solution leading to regret later. Improving care is an all-round benefit to them. [1] https://www.hpdetijd.nl/2022-10-31/de-transitie-heeft-mijn-leven-verwoest/ https://www.hpdetijd.nl/2022-10-31/de-transitie-heeft-mijn-l...
- DarkWiiPlayer 4y agoI'm not spending money on some pay-walled article in another language; and to be honest, I've seen enough """articles""" on this topic that I wouldn't trust them anyway and jump right to their actual sources. Do you have any actual data to look at?
