Yes they are free to do as they please... but it's good to know the risks.

Feb. 2020 - A detransitioner in agony recounts how gender doctors manipulated him into castration, hormones

When Marcus Fitz started ejaculating blood it finally occurred to him that just maybe the medical professionals he trusted had been misleading him.

For several years, he said, the doctors he saw enticed him with gender transition surgery and led him to believe that being castrated was a beneficial option that would improve his overall health and well-being.

...
Now suffering from a host of medical complications as a result of years of hormone treatment, including phantom pain in his groin and bouts of severe depression, he is five years into his detransition journey and is reintegrating with his anatomically male body.

So I read through the article where a myriad of problems have arisen - so I think lawsuit. However...

Fitz went home and started looking for local medical malpractice lawyers, calling dozens of different attorneys, most of whom did not return his phone calls. A few talked to him but refused to work with him and allegedly called him a "bigot" or "transphobe." Others thought his situation was weird and told him they didn't understand the issues and didn't want to get involved because it sounded too risky.

...
Fitz believes lawsuits are the best tool for social change and hopes to be part of a large-scale effort to sue the gender clinics that harmed him and his fellow travelers. Though he took action against his doctor, he also wanted to sue the surgeon who performed the orchiectomy. But as a result of state statute of limitations, he could not.

Many states, including California, have one-year statutes of limitations for legal action to be taken against surgeons for malpractice. Because Fitz didn't attempt to have sex for over a year after his surgery, it was too late for him to realize he had a problem, and his primary care doctor had told him to wait it out and that it would get better on its own.

This is a typical experience of other detransitioners he has spoken to who also regret their surgeries, he noted.

Hmmm.. Interesting. And the big question here is..

WHY are they 'flipping out' at all..?? Why the rigid ideology?

Why are they doing everything they can to keep the narrative going.. at all costs...??

Why not keep open to the fact that in many cases, the drugs & gender-appropriation surgery is NOT the answer to peoples' troubles...?..

or that they might be wrong.. and maybe there's a better way to deal with this...??


Forced compliance of the masses is NOT the answer!


Anyone with half a brain cell can see, there's something very weird going on here...

By the way, OP, the more important word you are looking for is not detransitioning, it is Desistance. If you really want to push a leftist ideologue's buttons and watch them completely flip out, talk about trans Desistance

I question what "legitimately trans" means.

Right now we are viewing healthy physical bodies as birth defects that need to be cut up and frankensteined back together to be corrected. The only reason we do this is because people think it's going to prevent suicide and is the lesser of two evils. But still evil. And most people would STILL be accepting of this if it didn't involve everyone else . Insisting everyone else ignore biological reality and pretend it's all perfectly normal is the real sticking point isn't it?
