New Study Confirms Extremely Low Regret Rates for Gender-Affirming Surgery
This study validates the results of previous research on regret rates. For instance, a 2022 Lancet study done in the Netherlands found that 98% of trans youth who went through gender-affirming healthcare continue their treatment into adulthood.
The 0.3% regret rate of our newest study is much smaller compared to other, common yet serious surgeries. Interestingly, knee replacement surgery has a dissatisfactory rate of 6-30%. The rate is up to 100 times that of gender-affirming surgery. However, knee replacement surgery does not go through the same scrutiny as trans healthcare does.

0.3% regret rate does not sound realistic. There's probably more to learn reading

Yeah, 0.3% sounds low, on the other hand Singal is a hateful hack with an axe to grind who's been perverting "stats" for a long time.

MeFi thread pointing to What went wrong at the New York Times? and So, a Top Guardian Editor Was Married to the Founder of Mumsnet.
When you look at how much energy the mainstream puts into propping up the bigots, suddenly a .3% regret rate doesn't actually look that impossible.

I don't think you'll be able to back up the "Singal is a hateful hack with an axe
to grind who's been perverting "stats" for a long time". But if you try, I hope to
find some time to check out your links.
Singal is a stickler, understands the scientific method and I quite like that

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
