An opinion piece recently came out in the New York Times looking at the ongoing debate on transgender youth.
It's inevitable that some percentage of teens who transition will regret it; the real question is whether the medical care is beneficial on the whole.
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis found an overall rate of 1 percent for regret after surgery for both transmasculine and transfeminine surgeries.
A large national study found that 13.1 percent of transgender people in the U.S. Transgender Survey reported detransitioning at some point in their lives.
John Sutter : This figure is useful for precisely the reasons discussed in the study itself.
Regret doesn't always mean that people wish they hadn’t transitioned, it just means there are some parts of the story that they long to change.
