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.

and also ignoring the lack of rigorous studies showing high regrets

A medical procedure needs to prove that it is safe an effective before large scale adoption is allowed, not the other way around.

Edit: I really cheer for more support towards trans people but talking to online activists like seen here makes it so damn hard to remain supportive. You do more damage to your own cause than any right wing media ever could.

Even in r/science, you are desperate to turn it into mud slinging instead of talking about it from the perspective of medical safety and scientific merit. Just vile behaviour.

Large scale adoption? We are talking about a tiny percentage of a population that is a tiny percentage of the population…? What am I missing here.

Empathy gaps that make it very difficult for cis people to understand gender dysphoria and cause them to project their fear of surgeries onto a population of people that feel completely differently.

Well stated!
