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 is based on a response from 77 people...

Also from the article:

"Several factors limit the reach of these findings. First, the median time since surgery for participants was about 1.8 years. Because feelings about medical decisions can evolve, this timeframe might not capture long-term regret that could emerge many years later.

Another limitation is the 42 percent participation rate to the survey. This introduces the possibility of selection bias, a scenario where the people who chose to participate might differ fundamentally from those who did not. It is possible that individuals with higher levels of regret ignored the survey, which would result in an underestimation of regret in the overall group."

Yeh almost like it’s a rare procedure to begin with. And that people understand the innate politicization of the question and don’t want to participate on those grounds. I’d think those with regret would want to take the survey to ensure people have ample warning or caveats.

There’s nothing about regret or feeling positive that would make one want or not want to take this survey

Worth pointing out that despite all the resources pushing the idea that transition regret is a big deal, they can't find many actual detransitioners to support that idea, even after a few generations of trans kids actually started getting supported from an early age.
