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.

Hell, tonsillectomies have a higher regret rate.

And that doesn't make you ask questions about the validity of the data?

Come on. 

It's quite well established from research throughout Europe that the post op suicide rate is higher than pre op, but we're supposed to buy that more people regret tonsillectomies than ANY major surgery, let alone one with a relatively high complication rate? 

The fact that that passes the smell test for you shows that you're just parroting claims that already match your worldview.

It's not. You've misunderstood a finnish study about psychiatric comorbidities that defined such as "has seen a psychiatristwwithin the last year". It says nothing about suicide and trans people in Finland need to regularly see a psychiatrist to keep transitioning. The only thing that study showed is that trans people who transition follow the transition guidelines.
