Studies like this strengthen the academic consensus that wholesale “detransition”—where a person who medically transitions stops identifying as trans and regrets receiving gender-affirming care—is rare. For those who do stop taking hormones or regret gender-affirming care, studies find the reasons cited are more likely to be financial, such as a lack of insurance; legal, with patients losing their care when states restricted it; or, most of all, a response to transphobia and violence upon coming out.
So not even an internal justification for their regret. It’s all from external forces by the sounds of it. So it’s quite possible that if they had a support network, they would not have regretted it.
That is the story the majority of the time. I’ve known a few detranaitioners that re transitioned as soon as they had a stable income and support network.
