It's unclear as to what the statistics to detransitioning are, like y'all said, the trans community wants to keep it hush hush.

But you know, I'm happy for them that they tried as individuals.

Please don't assume and accuse. All you need is an Internet search to see all the people saying "OMG see it's just a crazy new fad. Next they'll want to become animals". If the trans community is trying to keep it hush-hush, they're doing an extraordinarily bad job of it.

Not to mention anyone who wants to undergo surgery has plenty of time to think about the what-ifs.

If not a single person ever wanted to detransition, I'd be mightily surprised. People can come to regret anything. People make bad life-changing decisions. It's human nature.

And lastly: someone said being a woman is too much work? That's a complaint about gender roles, and not all people adhere to them. I'm sorry, it just sounded too ridiculous to me.
