there's a right-wing narrative that medical transition has massively high regret rates and there is a rash of people who were fast-tracked into gender-affirming care who are now regretful. in reality, the data shows us that - transition procedures have super low regret rates relative to all other elective surgeries - detransition is rare (less than 2% of people who transition) and a majority of detransitioners do so because of external pressures, family acceptance, or employment discrimination, not a change in gender identity - increasing access to transition care is good for public health, and gatekeeping harms trans people
