Wow. This gives me an idea for a trans widows' legal advice AI platform. I'd be happy to give them my data showing that we're approaching a 40% domestic violence rate by the suddenly full time crossdressing husbands. With data from 74 of us, including women who stayed as long as a decade trying to pretend to be "lesbians" but unable to endure his violent fits any longer, the patterns have been clear and stable ever since I had 35 testimonies. The documentary on us, which I'm wondering if your podcast would ever deign to review, also confirms this heightened violence in crossdressing husbands.

Here’s what detrans AI says: https://detrans.ai/chat/why-do-some-people-re-transition-after-de-transitioning%3F

It’s not unlike your comparison between the two sites on topic of why do some people detransition, yet MacKinnon seeks to portray their team’s research on detransition as more objective, avoiding bias on both sides
