Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret. For some, regret was temporary, but a small number went on to have detransitioning or reversal surgeries, the 2021 review said.
Research suggests that comprehensive psychological counseling before starting treatment, along with family support, can reduce chances for regret and detransitioning.
WHAT IS DETRANSITIONING?
Detransitioning means stopping or reversing gender transition, which can include medical treatment or changes in appearance, or both.
Detransitioning does not always include regret. The updated transgender treatment guidelines note that some teens who detransition “do not regret initiating treatment” because they felt it helped them better understand their gender-related care needs.
Yeah, every leftist news outlet is reporting on this. Mass delusion isn't good for any society, especially those who are already in trouble. What does a country look like after a few decades of indoctrinated youth lopping off their sex organs and pumping themselves full of chemicals? It's not going to end well.
Here is some perspectives from people who made the biggest mistakes of their lives and can not reverse those decisions. I think the study is bullshit, but what do I know, I just believe nature or God didn't get anything wrong, it's humans who think they know everything that started this insanity.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
While evidence suggests regret rates have historically been very low in the past, the research studies often have major flaws.
Here a review highlights some of the problems involving tracking mental health and regret rates in earlier studies. Here’s how the Guardian summarized the results of a review of “more than 100 follow-up studies of post-operative transsexuals” by Birmingham University’s Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility (ARIF):
ARIF, which conducts reviews of healthcare treatments for the NHS, concludes that none of the studies provides conclusive evidence that gender reassignment is beneficial for patients. It found that most research was poorly designed, which skewed the results in favor of physically changing sex. There was no evaluation of whether other treatments, such as long-term counselling, might help transsexuals, or whether their gender confusion might lessen over time.
Of particular concern are the people these studies “lost track of.” As the Guardian noted, “the results of many gender reassignment studies are unsound because researchers lost track of more than half of the participants.” Indeed, “Dr. Hyde said the high drop out rate could reflect high levels of dissatisfaction or even suicide among post-operative transsexuals.” Dr. Hyde concluded: “The bottom line is that although it’s clear that some people do well with gender reassignment surgery, the available research does little to reassure about how many patients do badly and, if so, how badly.”
Research suggests that comprehensive psychological counseling before starting treatment, along with family support, can reduce chances for regret and detransitioning.

I will tell you. Indoctrinate these kids to a degree so that they will decide to have sexual altering surgery/medical therapy..
Is that what you espouse, HA.? I realize that asking is futile, in that you are not going to offer your position rather throw out dreck and see if it sticks.

Why they choose to be half-women or half-man is beyond me. But they should have to wait until they are 19 before the chop off their breasts or submit to hormone therapy.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
10 years ago 5yr old kids were not being waterboarded with the leftist lie that gender Is fluid and can be changed at will. This ramped up insanity started fairly recently and we are seeing the horrific results.
People who haven’t had the amazing opportunity to raise children have no idea how easy it is to influence their open minds.
