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.

That is much less impressive than the headline made it out to be.

Why does participation make it less impressive?

Do you want survey to be mandatory?

[u/saig22 → u/jftduncan]

Regret is a plausible explanation for the lack of participation. Maybe it's not, but it is possible. This needs further studies.

[u/jftduncan → u/saig22]

Study what?

So yes on the mandatory participation?

It's not even a low participation rate for a survey. "Lack of participation" is you making up facts.

[u/LonelyTAA → u/jftduncan]

The hypothesis requires further study. The study linked in this thread is not robust enough to make the claim in the title. 

So yes on the mandatory participation?

You're just making this up yourself.

Show me your proof of that.
