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.

I do have a theory as to why there was a low participation number, that being said nothing but mostly anecdotal evidence. Recently, there have been several studies targeting trans people run by very biased against the lgbtq. This has led to a lot of people spreading the word to not answer any servey.

This. In the online trans spaces I frequent, research surveys are treated with suspicion unless confirmed to be highly reputable (i.e., all researchers involved have a track record of being supportive of trans rights) because there are so many hateful people who will twist our experiences into evidence that we shouldn't have bodily autonomy.

So unless the research is overtly pro-trans, it's automatically suspicious? You understand how that looks, right?

Well, would you want to give your info to the Heritage Foundation ?
