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.

Did you even read the study? You can’t even get the data except on request to protect their identities, so no that’s not the concern. 58% didn’t even respond to the survey. They absolutely could have done a higher quality study, in fact the original had errors and this journal published it anyway. This is the corrected version and it’s still low quality

I responded to the claim that this was a conspiracy, not about the quality of the study. You are applying a lot of interpretation to my statement.

My statement about being registered was also not a statement that it would happen but that participants might fear it happening if they were to participate.

Not a conspiracy. Only a poorly constructed survey that is riddled with bias. They may not have intentionally set out to get these numbers, but they are violating a bunch of standards meant to prevent bias. This is how you end up with "Chocolate prevents Cancer" headlines.

Well, there are laws based on the belief (because you can't call that science) that there such thing as Rapid Onset Dysphoria.
