Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and “detransitioning” is rare.

even for the small percentage of kids who do detransition, it shouldn’t be cause for alarm. kids should be allowed to experiment freely and if they find something doesn’t fit we shouldn’t shame them for it
To follow on that, for the unaware, the majority of trans affirming care under 18 is social in nature. When they do get meds it’s puberty blockers. If they decide it’s not for them they’ll go through puberty as normal, just delayed by a bit.
Almost no one under 18 is getting full HRT, much less surgery. Hell, trans adults who want surgery struggle to get it as is, often requiring an insane number of hoops.
