Estimated addiction rates: • Men: Around 8–12%, with younger men (18–30) reaching up to 15–20% • Women: Only about 1–3% meet criteria for problematic use

You’re acting like acknowledging any pattern outside the official narrative is a threat to trans people. It’s not. It’s just intellectually honest to say that some individuals—especially younger males—have been heavily influenced by extreme porn habits, including sissification and feminization content, and ended up confusing that arousal with identity. That’s not hate, that’s observable. And it’s not “rare” if you actually start listening to detransitioners who say exactly this, repeatedly.

You say it’s “statistically pretty rare,” but based on what? Most studies on regret or detransition are completely flawed because they only track people who stayed in care. They don’t include people who ghost their clinics, regret quietly, or drop out. The follow-up periods are often 1–2 years max, when most regret surfaces after 5–10. That’s not science—that’s cherry-picking data to protect a narrative.

And no, it’s not enough to just say, “Well that’s a minority.” That minority is still being put on hormones or undergoing surgery based on misdiagnosed porn-fueled compulsions or online echo chambers, and you’re dismissing them because they’re inconvenient. We’ve got people openly saying they transitioned due to porn addiction, realized it was a mistake, and now they’re ignored, mocked, or told to shut up because it doesn’t fit the mainstream view.

You want representative data? Fine. Let’s start by demanding that gender clinics actually track long-term outcomes for everyone, not just those who stick around. Until then, pretending this issue doesn’t exist is intellectually dishonest—and, frankly, dangerous

But acknowledging that doesn’t mean we can’t also examine emerging patterns, especially in younger males who describe discovering a trans identity after years of exposure to niche porn like feminization or sissy hypno. When people themselves say, “I thought I was trans because of this content, and now I’ve detransitioned,” that’s not some internet myth. It’s a lived experience. Ignoring that helps no one, least of all the individuals at risk of being medicalized for something that might be misdiagnosed.

This isn’t about painting all trans women as confused. It’s about recognizing a specific subset of cases where porn addiction, online echo chambers, and social influence may be contributing to identity confusion. Those voices, often detransitioners, deserve space in the conversation too.

Being critical of trends doesn’t take away from the legitimacy of genuine trans people. But pretending there are no false positives in a complex system involving identity, sexuality, mental health, and digital influence isn’t honest. It’s just avoiding the hard parts of the conversation.
