Hello Titan,
Welcome to Susan's Place.
Thanks for contributing to the discussions here.
Your opinions are welcome and valid, but I must disagree with you on this one. By definition, being transgender means that your gender identity (how you perceive yourself) does not align with your sex assigned at birth.
Detransitioning does not change that. Sure, you can stop transitioning and go back to playing the role assigned at birth. But that does not stop you from being transgender. And doing such, for most of us, just creates more problems in that detransitioning does not "cure" gender dysphoria. The only way to treat gender dysphoria is to bring the alignment closer together to where dysphoria becomes less of a problem.
Many transgender people do not transition at all because they do not experience gender dysphoria. That is to say, their gender identity does not align with their sex assigned at birth, but that incongruence does not disrupt their lives and they do not feel the need to change the way that gender dysphorics do.
