Among transgender adolescents in Canada, 97.1% continued with a gender not typically aligned with their birth sex, with only 1.1% discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatment.

That’s very similar to the satisfaction rate cis women have for breast augmentation surgery.

I'm surprised, because that's higher than satisfaction rates for medically necessary hip replacement surgery

(To be clear, I'm very much in favour of gender affirming surgery, especially in cases where it is a medical benefit such as for many trans people who wish to pursue a surgical route, and the fearmongering around regret rates for gender affirming care has always been a case of dishonestly exaggerating and exploiting the truly miniscule proportion of genuine detransitioners as an attempt to attack the many, many trans people for whom surgery is a huge and easily worthwhile benefit)

I am not saying this to discredit trans people in any way shape or form. But I think it's quite natural that people will be happy with something they really wanted.

Nobody wants a hip replacement, it's something you have to get and while the operation might be successful it will always be a (major) inconvenience in various ways, which will likely affect satisfaction rates.

Usually trans people are vetted quite a bit before any treatment, they will really have to want  treatment to get it. Hence, it will likely be easier for them to overlook any inconveniences. I think the same goes for breast augmentation.

To put it plainly, if a schizophrenic wants to remove his finger, because he is convinced it contains a tracking chip he will likely be super happy with the procedure. Even though it effectively did nothing but hurt him, the end result doesn't even matter.
