      I was going to say, it’s been known for a long time that it’s around 1%, this isn’t new information, and while we should take seriously the issues of de-trans (not anti-trans) people and what about the process caused them issues, ~1% regret rate is impressively low for something like this.

      thats the overall average, iirc things like top surgery (boobs and flattening) is something like .4% regret rate, and highest regret rate is phalloplasty at 2%. i think there were some extra criteria asking about complications which had like a 10% rate in most cases. so not even most people with complications regret it.
