The very few out trans individuals in 2000 were often treated as freaks or deviants. In 2025 more than a fifth of GenZ Americans identify as having non traditional genders or sexual orientations. While visibility and acceptance have both increased, so has public and legal backlash against transgender individuals.
Despite claims to the contrary, several thousand scientific papers provide evidence that transgender individuals exist, that discrimination against them is harmful, and that gender affirming care can improve health and life satisfaction.
Most individuals identifying as LGBTQ are not seeking gender reassignment. The presence of a few individuals who regret gender reassignment surgery may be tragic, but all current evidence indicates that such an outcome is quite rare. Satisfaction from gender surgery compares to, or exceeds, rates of widely accepted knee transplant surgery. Anecdotes make poor public policy.
