    I remember seeing a study once which showed regret about gender transition at about 6%.

    Meta-analyses almost always put the figure at closer to 1%. It is one of the least regretted things that humans do. To provide a comparison figure, education regret tends to hover closer to 40% and parenting at 10%.

      Cool I’ll edit. My point was correct, just the figure was wrong by a lot! Likely the difference to cancer surgery was also different. Maybe the cancer surgery regret was 6%.
