Practically nonexistant, it is not possible for children under 16 to access HRT, if anything they are prescribed puberty blockers (so that you know… they can avoid suffering from the changes in their body and not be permanently affected).
The general figure of regret for transgender affirming care is 1%, and 82.5% of these people do not detransition because they are no longer trans, but because of external factors.

They posted a newsweek article and I shared what amounts to at least thousands of people who regret transitioning.
You’re upset because regretting transitioning doesn’t align with what you like. You literally want to ignore people who regret transitioning like the right wants to ignore trans people.
Last I checked PubMed was a far better source than Newsweek or Reddit. (The comment isn’t even edited so I’m assuming you just skipped the part with the sources)
You posted a link to a Reddit community which won’t even load for me. I assume what you claim “amounts to at least thousands of people who regret transitioning” is the amount of people subscribed to that Reddit community.
If I understood correctly that would indeed not amount to “at least thousands of people who regret transitioning”. Instead it would show the number of Reddit accounts subscribed to the community. Some of which are likely individuals who regret having transitioned, many others are people interested in hearing about it and/or excited to make fun of what is posted and there could also be bots artificially inflate the number.
Posting a community name/link does not equate to a number of people in the group that the community is aimed at and it most certainly is not indicative of the people that actually exist in the group.
I’m not ignoring the post of a link to a community, I’m telling you that I prefer scientific studies and think that what one study based on asking >27000 individuals and another paper based on many more studies is more relevant than you trying to express that something exists in a lazy unclear way. Statistically there are only very few people who regret their choice of transitioning. Those who did chose to do it themselves (or something very illegal happened in which case I banning it wouldn’t change it).
I’m tempted to post a link to a trans community to show you irrelevant you would think it is. But I think those communities wouldn’t appreciate it if you popped in and commented on their wholesome posts with your thoughts about transitioning based on your reddit anecdotes.

By age 17, 0.1% of trans children get HRT. Source: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/article-abstract/2828427
Now let’s calculate some numbers: 1% of these 0.1% will regret it, that’s 0.001%. And 17.5% of these might not be transgender, so that’s 0.000175%
According to that second study, there’s about 300000 trans children, so 0.000175% of that is 0.525 people.
So… less than 1 child in the whole United States would maybe regrets it because they’re not trans. In other words, you can stop fear mongering.

Lol, the complete delusion among you people really is a sight to behold.
They brought sources, you brought anecdotes from reddit. Remind us who’s deluded again?

Congrats, you’re a bigot.
This may be news to you, but people on Reddit lie. Constantly.
Lol. I feel bad for the people de-transitioning who have to deal with people like you constantly trying to belittle and deny their existence.
Ironic how quickly you resort to bigoted tactics as soon as they suit your goal.
TIL saying that people on Reddit lie constantly is bigoted.

Yeah, just ignore everything you don’t like.
The people who regret transitioning don’t matter because you don’t want them to matter.
Scrub them from existence the same way the right wants to scrub trans people from existence.
I don’t think you understood what I wrote.
