If #autogynephilia hadn't already been observed, science would still predict its existence.

For men's sexual interest patterns, an "inverted" versions appear to exist. There are sexual sadists on one hand, and sexual masochists on the other. 1/3
There exists exhibitionism on hand, and voyeurism on the other.

Pedophiles are attracted to children on the one hand, and "infantilists" are attracted to *being* children, on the other. 2/3
Gynephilia is being sexually aroused by women. This ubiquitous pattern predicts there should therefore exist, in some men, a pattern of sexual arousal to *being* a woman...autogynephilia. 3/3

This fact-check seems more relevant now even than it did then:

[The] suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, [2/4]
such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late‐onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, [3/4]

Just published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine:
"Surgical outcomes following gender affirming penile reconstruction"
jsm.jsexmed.org/article/S1743-…
"129 patients underwent genital reconstruction surgery... Patients reported 281 complications requiring 142 revisions."

The most common complications were:
urethrocutaneous fistula (40%)
urethral stricture (32%)
worsened mental health (19%).
"These results support anecdotal reports that complication rates following gender affirming genital reconstruction are higher than are commonly reported in the surgical literature."

All Turban's new study says is:

"If you redefine 'desistance' to include people who transitioned part-time before going full-time, then you inflate the seeming number of 'detransitioners'."
And, as others have already observed about the source of the data: If you survey members of activist groups, you get results remarkably similar to the groups agenda.
The exact survey question read:

"Have you ever de-transitioned? In other words, have you ever gone back to living as your sex assigned at birth, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE?" (emphasis added).
