CMV: It would be contradictory to believe in both "Anyone who says they're trans is trans" and "Detransitioners were never trans".

Detransitioners were once people who said they were trans, but now say they aren't. This is where I see the contradiction: depending on which statement we choose to go by, they would be going through two different experiences. If we go by the first statement, they would be trans people in denial or confused. Going by the second statement, they would instead be cis people who were confused or mistaken in the past. Stating the obvious, one can't be both trans and cis, so these two experiences that I'm talking about also necessarily must be mutually exclusive. 

So I guess my position is that only one of those statements could be true. Based on what we know, it doesn't seem like the second statement would be false; if detransitioners were actually trans before, it'd be tantamount to saying that someone can be changed from trans to cis. Then it's more likely that the first statement is false, and that not everyone who says they are trans is trans. 

I don't know guys, I feel like there's a problem with my reasoning somewhere. CMV.

Not neccessarily

The overwhelming majority of people who medically detransition, cite the financial cost of transitioning, the pushback from their family and support system, or their dissatisfaction with the progress of their transition, but continue to have gender dysphoria.
