Unironically, looking at these statistics is what convinced me to finally take the plunge, ignore all the gaslighting and get top surgery. I knew I wanted it, knew it would make my life so much more livable, but had a lifetime of people telling me I didn't know what was good for me.
Best decision I ever made.

I forgot the regret rate for Harry Potter tattoos, but it is higher than the overall regret rate for tattoos.
I love all my trans sisters, brothers, and siblings 🏳️⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🏳️⚧️

Trans rights should never be compromised, it’s all or nothing. Making a compromise on trans rights, is like making a compromise on how many hostages a kidnapper should get to keep.
All people are equal. Everyone deserves rights. “Normal” is inherently subjective. End of discussion.

I support trans rights and the rights of all people to decide what it means to live their best life. I admit the idea of surgery really makes me queasy so I figure if someone decides to go ahead with surgery, especially now knowing there's such a phenomenally low regret rate, then they must be totally committed and I absolutely support them in their decision. Edit to add thank you so much for this post!

Seconded. Any law restricting trans folks must be defied at every step. It is not enough merely to demand freedom from the oppressor. Freedom must be TAKEN from the oppressor.

Why do people regret knee replacement and corrective spinal surgery? Do they make things worse so frequently?
