Exactly. So, 3 of every 100 people who transition regret it, and of those 3 people, rounding to the nearest whole person, everyone who detransitions does so because of bigots.
Or if someone wants to be pedantic, 3 in every 2500 people regret transitioning because they essentially felt it wasn’t right for them. That’s 0.12%.
And those three people create videos and amass followings (filled with right-wing shitheads that assure them they’re so brave, Jesus would be proud, etc.) calling to stop transition care for the other 2,497 people for whom it was the correct treatment, simply by virtue of the fact that the three outliers exist.
Because as we all know, we only use treatments that work perfectly for every—oh, wait…
