Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia

A report on the largest survey ever of trans Americans’ health was released on Wednesday, June 11, and its findings reaffirmed what many academics, health care providers and trans people already know: gender-affirming care saves and improves lives, but transphobia often dissuades people from pursuing or continuing it when they need it most.

Over 84,000 trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming people aged 18 and up responded to the 2022 U.S. Transgender Survey, spearheaded by Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE). Of respondents who had transitioned, 9% had gone back to living as their sex assigned at birth at some point in their lives, at least for a short while—but in almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination from one’s family, friends, or community.

"Transphobia" is a non-existent myth, just like "homophobia." It's better known as sound reason. Why wouldn't people heed it?

They’re not getting the praises the sickos who talked them into being trannies promised.

They stopped transitioning because the groovy trendiness of the whole thing didn’t make them as popular as they had hoped.

STFU.

It’s racist that I can not get a pair of glasses or dental care from insurance.

You insaine twits get birth control, abortions, sex change surgery.... Give me my glasses and dental care for the entire nation for our well-being.

Plus, it was expensive, extremely painful and inconvenient. Playing pretend long-term just isn't worth it.

“dissuades people from pursuing or continuing it when they need it most.”

No one needs it.

“Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia”

I thought “phobia” meant being afraid of something. Perhaps they’re afraid of what’s being done to them.

Whatever works. If understanding that people don’t think you’re special helps then so be it.

Most of these people surveyed are only in their first year of “transition.” Long term, they just don’t thrive. Ask them again in 10 years, if you can even find them alive on earth.

Perhaps a reason is because a few — although damn few — of these seriously mentally ill, delusional and pathetic individuals are receiving the medical and professional mental health care they so clearly and so desperately need (mental health care that includes a significant component of anger management for most).

My son knows a guy who did the transition thing. In his case he was trying to remove himself as much as he could from his former self - new sex, new name, etc. - because of trauma that had happened to him. New identity equaled not the person the trauma had happened to.

Of course, we all know that you can do all those things but you're still the person it happened to, it's still in your psyche, soul, whatever, and you must deal with it with therapy or something ... but that was what happened in that guy's case.

“...gender-affirming care saves and improves lives.”

Better yet, it’s a real money-maker for the people doing the transitioners’ surgeries and providing the expensive hormones they’ll need to take for the rest of their lives...

🤔. Last I checked I wasn’t “afraid” of either condition. Let alone scared or terrified.

That article is some world class woke BS right there.

These perverts are mentally ill.

That is the sum total of what anyone needs to know.

Meanwhile, respondents who received gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) or gender-affirming surgery overwhelmingly reported feeling “more satisfied” with their lives—98% and 97% respectively.

Sure.
