Long-Term Regret and Satisfaction With Gender-Affirming Mastectomy

Science@kbin.social – 0 points – 1 years ago

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

So the takeaway from this is that "regret" from gender-affirming mastectomies isn't 1% as often claimed in the media. It's actually 0%:

The median Decision Regret Scale score was 0.0 (IQR, 0.0-0.0) on a 100-point scale, with lower scores noting lower levels of regret.

Literally not a single one of these dudes regretted it.

That isn't what that number says. All it tells you is that at least 50% of respondents scored a zero.

FWIW, trans rights are human rights. No disagreement there. But that's not what that number is telling you.

Moreover, they say that the media talk about 1% (or less, realistically), but here there are barely 139 respondents.

Disclaimer: Just highlighting a fact for those who fall for confirmation bias, trans rights and blah blah blah to avoid harassment.
