The most commonly cited statistic is about 0.3%.

to about 1%.

But where that actually comes from is a survey where people were incentivized to take it to win like a gift card or something.

So it's already, I mean, you're already biasing what kind of answers you're going to get from that alone.

But I mean to speak a little bit more broadly to my own experience, I – and to that of many – something that's universal amongst detransitioners is that many of us are already too traumatized to go back to the same doctors who did this to us.

And they don't follow up with this, so they don't know.

Or even if they do know, they don't care to report it.

I tried with every single doctor that I had at that time, both those who were involved with my transition, even just like my primary care physician, to get my sex marker changed back, get my name changed back, to put on file that I regretted my transition.

And I was going back to embracing my God-given birth identity.

And I still get letters from Kaiser.

I still get mail sent home and emails calling me,

Mr. Leo.

Right.

You would expect the same people would do this to you to be able to help you back out of it.

But, I mean, on a systemic level –

There's nothing that even – there's no guidance even for the doctors.

So –

without any codes, any billing codes, without any standards of care, without even any mention of the possibility of regret or detransition for these treatments.

And with the way that these doctors are trained, they think, well, this is something that is statistically very unlikely and probably like a huge anomaly if it does happen.

So they just look at patients like me and they kind of just like sit and scratch their head because it's like, well, we're going to be continuing the experiment if we do anything about this.
