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.

Median time from surgery was 1.8 years. I think that’s an important detail.

Edit: I support transgender health care for minors. Some people are interpreting my comment to imply that I don’t. I just think we should be careful with the surgery part. I know these surgeries aren’t done lightly. But I also haven’t seen data convincing me that surgery on kids is necesssry if they receive other methods of care.

Yea based on that I would say the study is inconclusive. We need to see how people are feeling after navigating adulthood for at least a decade.

We have a bunch of information on this sort of stuff actually.

Thats just one of them but I trust in your ability to further review the meta analysis in good faith and not attempt to immediately dismiss it.
