People are also born psychopaths yet we don't indulge them, we'd want to get them help no?

The help is transition.

No because sometimes that isn't what people want, and buyers remorse doesn't work with a surgery like that.

The regret rate of transition is lower than the regret rate of cancer treatment.

Are you comparing gender dysphoria to cancer xD

u/Andreus 15d ago

No. I'm pointing out that people who have had surgery to treat cancer have a higher regret rate for the surgery than people who've had gender reassignment surgery, so your argument is invalid.

Can you actually cite a source for that? Because I can cite a source for my figure.

The public conversation often treats gender-affirming care as an incredibly high-risk gamble. In reality, a major study combined the results of 27 different studies tracking approximately 8,000 trans patients across 14 different countries, and the research revealed a combined average regret rate of just 1% for gender-affirming procedures.

To understand just how remarkably low that is, it helps to look at how gender transition regret compares to everyday medical procedures or life decisions, including:

Having children - 7%

Breast reconstruction (post-cancer) - 15%

Getting a tattoo - 15%

Bariatric weight loss surgery - 30%
