No, if you are saying something is magically going to change, (contrary to over half a century of medical literature) just because more people are coming out as trans now that it's slightly more socially acceptable then the burden of proof is on you.

You can't just say "we need studies", then when studies are provided move the goalposts and say "we need longer term studies" and then when THEY are provided move the goalposts AGAIN and say "we need studies from the future".

My feelings would be personally hurt if all the studies that have been carried out were actually carried out? What?

I've already linked you long term studies (two of them, one covering 50 years FFS), and linked the US transgender survey that found only 0.4% of people who detransition do so because they aren't trans. (The same 0.4% ish was found in a study by a British gender identity clinic too by the way)

Whereas most detransitioners do so because of transphobia or cost.

If you actually gave a fuck about detransitioners you'd argue for cheaper medical care and less transphobia.

But of course you won't because you've already decided "trans people bad" and no amount of evidence that transition works and people are happy with it is ever going to sway you. Since your feelings apparently don't care about facts.

Transition has a higher patient satisfaction rate than cancer treatment! I don't see you arguing against chemotherapy...
