Republican lawmakers have weaponized the rare phenomenon of detransition to attack transgender rights, using “Detrans Awareness Day” as a political tool rather than an effort to genuinely support detransitioners. In reality, studies show that detransition is rare, with the vast majority of cases occurring due to external pressures such as discrimination, financial barriers, and lack of support—not because individuals regret transitioning. Research confirms that only 1-2% of trans people detransition due to identity-related reasons, while gender-affirming care has extremely low regret rates (below 1%).
By exaggerating detransition cases and falsely presenting transition as inherently dangerous, conservatives are misleading the public, justifying bans on gender-affirming care, and making it harder for trans people to live safely and authentically.
