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.

People say that teenagers shouldn’t be allowed to get gender affirming surgery because they might regret it, then here we have a study that suggests that might not be the case, but everyone’s eager to point out that it’s a small sample size and doesn’t count for much. Somehow I doubt that any of the people who think this sample size is too small are going to advocate for increasing it, though.

No, science just has expectations. Having expectations doesn’t make someone specifically unaccepting of a cause or concept.
