Yes, some people do end up regretting transitioning, and they aren't supported the way people who want to transition are. Also, some people go into it with unrealistic expectations, not realising that certain surgeries may mean they can never have intercourse, or achieve orgasm. We also don't have very good long term data yet on the effects of taking puberty blockers, so effectively giving this to young people is experimenting on children.

I guess they are all ticktoker or youtubers or any other streamers?
Do you remeber when parents were asked what they want they kids when they grow up? Answers were policeman, firefighter, doctor.
Lately we here answers like youtubers or just be popular.
I know a teenager who wanted to transition, now two years later she is back to being a "she". Like a lot of young lesbians she was pressured into transitioning. Young women get told that if they are attracted to other girls/women, or behave in certain ways they must be boys.
It really annoys me when people talk about how a boy must be a girl because he likes to play with dolls, or a girl must be a boy because she likes to wear pants and not shave her armpits. We should be past this gender stereotype stuff by now. Let children dress how they want and play with whatever they want.
