So this includes both detransitioners and people who just changed their phone number. Not exactly something where we can assume that all of these people were unhappy with their transition.
The culture war started in the US when North Carolina passed a bathroom bill. Prior to this we'd had trans people participating in sports, using the bathroom of their choice, and being allowed to medically transition for years and years. The idea that trans people somehow brought this on themselves for being too pushy is simply false.
This is, frankly, ridiculous. You don't know a single trans person and are making a broad sweeping claim about trans people being unreasonable in conversation about the nature of their transition?
Okay. Is there any evidence that kids who go to a gender care specialist with the idea that they don't fit into typical gender norms just get signed up for transition care right away? Why are we assuming that "hey I don't like sports" gets you puberty blockers?
I mean, I questioned for years myself - longer than I was in that environment. And if some overzealous psychiatrist had diagnosed me as trans I would’ve absolutely taken whatever. Now that I’m older and settled and secure in my gender I’m EXTREMELY glad I didn’t do anything at the time
Kids rarely get to decide unilaterally. They are evaluated by professionals. They don't just show up and say "give me permanent treatments."
There are people who detransition. It is rare. It is wild to me that each of these people matter more to you than each genuinely trans person who is unable to transition because of the law. Both of these sets of people are stuck in bodies they don't want. Why is one worthy of so much more empathy than the other?

I don't think IB has to be stable over time? For instance, whether and which extended integer types exist is IB and that has definitely changed over time.

It's absolutely possible to report IB as a bug (or even fully-specified behavior, as demonstrated by -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow or -fsanitize=implicit-integer-conversion).
So this includes both detransitioners and people who just changed their phone number. Not exactly something where we can assume that all of these people were unhappy with their transition.
