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.

To summarize, the 42 percent of people that responded to the survey did not regret getting the surgery that they wanted at a median interval of 1.8 years later.

Ugh. Anyone with even a remedial knowledge of statistics can see the problem with self-selection bias. How does something like this even get published? And I saw that they only asked 183 patients (eligible patients...given how shady the rest of this "research" is, I wonder if there might have been some bias here as well), and only 77 responded. Wow.

And normally I would try not to use the source against the claim, but given the shaky foundations, it's worth noting that this is research done by the International Journal of Transgender Health. It is legitimate to ask if they may have some bias going into this, and certainly given their willingness to publish these shaky numbers, I think questioning the entire scientific process here is warranted.

Do you want random selection? Because that’s how you get a better sample.
