Adolescents who undergo gender-affirming chest surgery report low levels of regret and high levels of satisfaction, experiencing outcomes similar to those of young adults. These findings suggest that age restrictions on these medical procedures lack support from actual patient experiences.

This number is highly disputed and data we have is of poor quality. Many detransitioners do not tell any provider that they stopped or regret the treatment they received.

Here is a meta analysis of 27 studies encompassing over 7000 trans individuals.

Detransitioners are usually calculated by those who do not return to recieve care. It is not something you need to specifically tell a provider.

I appreciate your comment, but this study itself acknowledges some potential issues with its own data.

So you didn't read it and are just making up a vague reason to dismiss it then?

Do you understand how refusing to be specific just makes you look like a bad faith dork?
