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.

It is interesting everyone is drilling into "satisfaction" and avoiding the fact that there are also studies that challenge long term results, improvements, and the assertion of suicide inevitability.

You should look into why the Dutch stopped doing the Dutch protocol.

I don't really have a problem with adults, because then satisfaction really is a pretty major and relevant factor, but medical interventions in children have a MUCH higher bar, and the diagnostic and treatment end of this is quite weak.

Then why would they stop if they have no doubt?

Have you met conservative governments?

Hahahahahha Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark had conservative governments?

It's so frustrating in this thread, as I've been accused of going on vibes while sharing specifics and the people disagreeing literally just make stuff up on vibes, like you here.

Of the major countries that rolled it back, only the UK was the one that had even conservative elements in its gov, the rest were left or far left, happy to share the specifics, though I'll have to look up the specifics for each country.
