Dispelling the Myths About Trans People 'Detransitioning'

"In the past month, the UK press has highlighted a number of trans people who have decided to reverse their transition, or "detransition." Chelsea Attonley was described by the Mirror as "want[ing] taxpayers to reverse breast and gender reassignment surgery," while Ria Cooper was described by the Daily Mail as "Britain's youngest sex swap patient to reverse her sex change treatment." At first glance, it's easy to see why those unsupportive of trans rights would swoop up these cases as confirmation of their biases."

Never trust the Daily Mail to be balanced lol

I like how they focus on the cost of the surgery and not a society that forces people to choose one or other of the binary + the stigma that makes people want to go back...

Also there are plenty of women with large natural or implant breasts that they do not want, trans or otherwise. Wanting smaller breasts doesn't always mean you don't want to be a woman
