This cross-sectional study uses validated instruments to assess long-term decisional regret and satisfaction following gender-affirming mastectomy.

    The fact that they have 100% satisfaction makes me think other gender-affirming surgeries and procedures which have less than 100% satisfaction are actually suffering from inadequate development of the technology, rather than some kind of fundamental regret.

    Advance the technology further and we’ll likely see all rates of regret drop to 0

      I’m not so sure, I think we need to ensure our therapy is 100% as well. This will help gender fluid individuals to better identify their fluidity when they may think they are strictly trans due to their mind spending a long period of time as one gender without changing back. Rare problem but not unheard of.

        What this study implies to me is that our therapeutic screening process is already very good.

        0% regret. That’s amazing!
