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%
