In one study of detransitioners, around half originally believed that transition would lead them to be “treated better” if they were “perceived as the target gender”

In a study¹ of 100 detransitioners, 50.7% of females and 45.2% of males identified with the comment “I felt I would be treated better if I was perceived as the target gender”.
