So, my spouse sent me a lengthy article about detransitioning earlier today, and it:

1. Irritated me.
2. Made me want to get some stats of my own.

So, the question is: "As a trans person, what are your opinions about detransitioning (DT)?"

Please select any and all options that apply.

Please only answer if consider yourself to be trans, nonbinary, or formerly trans or nonbinary.

Please boost for reach. I want like every trans person on Mastodon in this poll.

Thank you! 🩵 🩷

Here's the article in question: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-transyouth-outcomes/

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:
