    Even more than that, gender affirming care has been shown to be highly effective. Its efficacy rate is among the highest for any treatment for any condition. And as far as HRT goes, very few downsides or side effects. It’s why HRT is an approved treatment for a variety of issues in cis patients as well.

    I heard somewhere that the regret rate for sex reassignment surgery is even lower than the failure rate of the surgery itself. The regret rate is lower than the regret rate for Lasik. That is incredible.

      Wouldn’t surgery make it permanent? I heard a couple stories of the people who did regret it.

        Yes, getting Lasik surgery is permanent. Sometimes people do regret getting Lasik eye surgery.
