Know anything about people that wish to detransition and go back to what they were before?
Just stumbled upon this.
A woman who detransitioned in 2018 says there are many people who have had gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn't.

Heh, was thinking about posting this article as well.
There's this push to get people to transition regardless of actual need or reason these days, to the detriment of the victims of such behavior.
From personal experience, I've been struggling with depression for many years now. When it was truly bad for me, I was looking for something, anything, I could point at and fix to change my shitty life. At one point I actually thought I might be trans, convinced myself I had the symptoms (human brain is very adept at lying to itself), and heavily considered transitioning.
Of course, the trans-activist were very supportive of that. I got directed to a ton of information on what drugs to use, where to get an operation, how to lie to the doctors when they try to steer me away from transitioning, and so on. In retrospect, there was an unsurprising lack of stuff that would allow someone to reconsider the process, or maybe realize 'it's just a phase' or something like that. Now I know these kinds of activist see such things as 'bigotry' to be fought against.
Thankfully, my truly astounding lack of motivation for doing stuff (and generally living) made me drag my feet over the whole thing, until I got to grips with my depression somewhat through other means. Now I realize I wasn't truly trans, but depressed, and looking for anything that may have changed something in my life.
But, what about people like me, in similar situation, who were depressed, and at the urging of political activist, did transition? If they realized their problems weren't actually solved and they fucked up their bodies and lives even more? For someone with depression and few suicide attempts under the belt, the choice they'd make to end their lives is tragic, if understandable. The ridiculously high suicide statistic for transitioned people reflects that.
So, I don't believe the high suicide rate of transitioned people is solely the fault of society or patriarchy or whatever. I mostly blame the trans-activists who dupe people with other problems into transitioning when what they need is treatment for different issues.
I blame you, SJWs, for driving these people to their deaths, and feeling virtuous about it.
