   The most common gender affirming surgery is breast augmentation -- in cis (non-trans) women.

   The regret rate is around 20%.

   Gender affirming surgeries in trans people have around a 1% regret rate.

   Guess which people need approval from a mental health provider...

     @doxy_cycling @joelle it's almost miraculous. In general, gender affirming care has really low regret rate, compared to *any* medical procedures. People are happy with the results, unlike e.g. patient satisfaction with their knee or hip surgeries!

     Regret is a rare unicorn.

     And what little there exists, is usually caused by peer rejection and social condemnation.
