I sincerely doubt that the rate of "detransition" was only 1% and suddenly jumped to 30%, but WPATH transgender doctor Amaya Deakins is now calling for WPATH to begin research and develop standards of care for people who started down the path of gender-affirming "care" and regret it.
Should receive support and treatment just like those who transition. I do not want anyone to be harmed by the practice of #GAC However this appears to be the case for some adolescents. I call on @wpath leadership to develop detrans psychological And medical treatment protocols.

It wasn't that long ago--just about a year ago, in fact, that Deakins was on the other side of the issue, asserting that the rate of desisting was minuscule, which justified the near-indifference to finding ways to treat people with gender dysphoria without resorting to medical treatment and for ignoring developing standards of care for people who regret their "treatments."
Now it’s 30%. But don’t worry your experience is “valid”.

I wonder what has them admitting this? I wonder what is coming that they are now scurrying around trying to run cover. https://t.co/P2aG4MeuFT pic.twitter.com/v9M7kGzMbm
Most people don't know, but gender-bending doctors rarely, if ever, treat people who decide to abandon their "transition"--leaving such people in a medical limbo. As Deakins points out, there are no standards of care, despite his own admission that detransition rates are 30x what WPATH generally acknowledges.
I absolutely believe that we (healthcare providers) must be and do better. I call for increased research in all facets of GAC And to investigate wether there's any validity to the AGP phenomenon. I feel @wpath must develop standardized psychotherapy treatments and getting gender

The ideological commitment of the alphabet activists justifies both the lie that detransition is rare--chances are that the numbers are much higher since follow-up rates are extremely low and most patients just fall out of the system--and that there is no need to care for detransitioners because they really don't exist.
Deakins is right to call his colleagues out for these things, but of course, this is a reversal forced by the fact that the reality is so obvious now that sticking to The Narrative™ is sure to be a career killer soon. The alphabet ideology scam is collapsing at an accelerating rate and will soon be seen as one of the biggest medical scandals in decades. Best to get in front of it.
It's not like it has been any secret in recent years that the "evidence" that gender-affirming "care" does no good and does much harm, and for years, people whose lives have been harmed have been begging for help and ignored. Anybody within the WPATH sphere or who has followed this issue knew that.
But too much money and power were at stake to admit it.
It was no revelation to Dr. Deakins that regret rates were much higher than the 1% he claimed in 2023. At the time, he just couldn't admit it because the ideological climate didn't permit it.
We are entering the "now it can be told" phase of the scandal, and the rats are beginning to leave the sinking ship.
Let's hope they all drown, metaphorically speaking.
