The 2022 U.S. Transgender Survey revealed that gender-affirming care dramatically enhances well-being among trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming individuals. Although 9% of those who transitioned returned to their sex assigned at birth, this was primarily due to anti-trans discrimination rather than regret about transitioning. The overwhelming majority of respondents benefited from hormone therapy or surgery, reporting high levels of life satisfaction. This survey challenges prevalent narratives suggesting widespread detransitioning and highlights the importance of supportive healthcare environments for trans people.
"Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point..."
"Respondents who received gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) or gender-affirming surgery overwhelmingly reported feeling 'more satisfied' with their lives, 98 percent and 97 percent, respectively."
