Two things can be true at once

I typically watch detransitioner content to see how some justify their decisions. There are those who say it just wasn't for them and make sure to not say they are trying to deter others from a transition process. However some use their story to generalize even if it was clear they had been led down a path during a point of confusion in their lives. Then in come the gender criticals to turn these cases into moral panics.

I saw a recent detransitioner use a religious conversion as their explanation which then spurs their supporters to generalize about how others need saving as well.

Of course medical transition isn't going to be for everyone and most transgender people don't undergo one. However its unfortunate that cases where the quality of life is improved through transition are ignored by those who have an agenda against transgender people in general.

Two things can be true at once namely that transition can be a life saver but also that it isn't necessarily the right call for everyone.
