I tried searching for scientific articles but didn't find a source on this 1%. Could you share a scientific source on this?
I don't see how they are causally correlated. I just say from personal experience... that if I wasn't exposed since my pre-teen years to LGBT I would likely never think transitioning was a thing and as such would not have pursued that. Today I see it was just a waste of time and money trying to transition.
1% regret it and a small number of those actually go on to reverse it.

What studies are these? There's no reference.
Also, it's pretty crazy they're doing this on teens and crazier that their parents are allowing that. Like, do you really think teens have the maturity to comprehend what are the consequences of this in the long term? I don't think so even if some doctor gives them a paper to read, just as I was given.
