The key take-aways are that complex mental health needs of gender dysphoric patients were frequently overlooked prior to medical transition; social influence played a key role in developing a trans identity/seeking transition; and inappropriate transition often led to regret. /2
The female study participants were on average 20 years old when they sought care to transition and 24 when they decided to detransition. Males were considerably older: the average ages to seek medical transition and to subsequently detransition were 26 and 33, respectively. /3
