The most popular reddits have over 30 million members. The main trans reddit (not counting any other more specialist reddits too) shadows that reddit in terms of numbers too.

You've also got to ask yourself some questions regarding that reddit. Has it always had that number or has it ballooned recently with efforts from the right and GCs to push detransitioning as a common thing? How many people on that reddit are trans and how many are bad actors or brigaders pushing an agenda?

Detransitioning does happen, but it's not a thing to most people and there's only a narrative that it's more common than people think because gender critical people believe that such a narrative hurts trans people.
