In one study of detransitioners, around half were worried about the medical complications of transitioning.
A study [1] of 100 detransitioners showed that 49% had concerns about potential medical complications from transitioning.
A second study [2] of detransitioners and desisters – most of whom were detransitioners who had undergone medical transition – arrived at a higher figure, with 62% citing health concerns as a motivating factor for detransition.
