   @Rasp @MollyNYC @GenderGP and then there's also the question of where the regret is coming from - in another study I saw a while ago (I think that one stated ~5% of people having regrets) they talked about one mayor reason being transphobic pressure from society

     I mean this is why hormones and stuff are encouraged to the the first steps so it keeps the regret rate down really low. It weeds out most of those who it isn't right for well before knives come out.

     If you're with it enough to go though HRT for years you're VERY unlikely to change your mind if you hadn't by then.

     I mean you cant count out social or family pressure bullying them out of it.

     Also only studied patients who’d had their GASs & DTs from 2016 to 2021—a gap of no more than 6 years.

     So no TGs at later stages of their lives than when they transitioned.

     And a confounder: the apparent pressure on TGs to stay the course if it’s not what they’d hoped for—like they’re letting the team down (as this article’s tone demonstrates).

     But everyone tries stuff that doesn’t pan out. TGs are surely entitled to do the same.

     @Rasp @GenderGP Yeah... The Abstract states
     "6 patients (0,3%) were encountered that either requested reversal surgery or transitioned back to their sex-assigned at birth." which is not the same as "regret"... paper itself is not published yet I think

     @GenderGP That's astonishingly low number even for someone like me.

     This is BIG. A new study in the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, has highlighted a regret rate of only 0.3% for gender-affirming surgeries.

     To put that into context, the regret rate for knee replacements is around 20% and plastic surgery can be up to 65%. Gender-affirming surgery... 0.3% ?
