The study itself is titled, “Long-Term Regret and Satisfaction With Decision Following Gender-Affirming Mastectomy,” and sought to study the rate of regret and satisfaction after 2 years or more following gender affirming top surgery. The study’s results were stunning - in 139 surgery patients, the median regret score was 0/100 and the median satisfaction score was 5/5 with similar means as well. In other words… regret was virtually nonexistent in the study among post-op transgender people. In fact, the regret was so low that many statistical techniques would not even work due to the uniformity of the numbers: In this cross-sectional survey study of participants who underwent gender-affirming mastectomy 2.0 to 23.6 years ago, respondents had a high level of satisfaction with their decision and low rates of decisional regret. The median Satisfaction With Decision score was 5 on a 5-point scale, and the median decisional regret score was 0 on a 100-point scale. This extremely low level of regret and dissatisfaction and lack of variance in scores impeded the ability to determine meaningful associations among these results, clinical outcomes, and demographic information. The numbers are in line with many other studies on satisfaction among transgender people. Detransition rates, for instance, have been pegged at somewhere between 1-3%, with transgender youth seeing very low detransition rates. Surgery regret is in line with at least 27 other studies that show a pooled regret rate of around 1% - compare this to regret rates from things like knee surgery, which can be as high as 30%. Gender affirming care appears to be extremely well tolerated with very low instances of regret when compared to other medically necessary care.

"The largest-ever survey of trans Americans reaffirms what the trans community has been saying for ages: trans people who go back to living as their sex assigned at birth do so because of transphobia, not because of doubts about gender or transition."

...

"“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth,” the report reads. “[...] Only 4% of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36%.”

There's so many detransitioners now because the transgender identity is a product of social contagion. It's a trend and a very dangerous one at that.

That's why you're gonna see a whole lot of graphs like this. This is 18-to-24 year olds who identify as transgender or non-binary. You're gonna see an uptick up to 2022 and then it's downhill from there.

Here's another graph showing students that don't identify as male or female. Around 2020, this becomes super popular, uptick all the way through 2022 to 2023, where you see a massive downtrend.

If you're seeing a ton of your trans friends detransition right now, it's because they were manipulated by a super-dangerous social trend that could have left many of them with irreversible damage and has left many of them with irreversible damage.

I truly think we're gonna look back on this time in human history with a whole different set of eyes and a whole bunch of regret for what people were put through in the name of the transgender movement.

They act like we forgot that a decade ago Tumblr was already talking about "transtrenders" at around the same time girls were self-diagnosing with "Dissociative Identity Disorder," rambling about their "head mates" and "systems," and screaming at anyone who didn't believe that their changes in mood throughout the day weren't discrete personalities.

I have been getting so wet putting on a push up bra, thong, tight top, short skirts and makeup. My desperate hole couldn't handle it today and I shaved my whole body and had to get fucked by a stranger.

It was soo good feeling a real man entering my fertile pussy, while rubbing my throbbing clitty, knowing this is what I was made for.

It was a shame he was so gentle with me and lasted only a few minutes - now I need to find someone who will destroy my holes for hours without asking me and show me I can't be a boy because I'm his sex doll.

Phobia indoctrination instills irrational fears in members of a high-control group and uses those fears to manipulate members so they won’t question the group’s beliefs or try to leave. Here’s what phobia indoctrination looks like in the trans community:

Telling community members that anyone who questions gender identity or transition (even if from a place of genuine care and concern) hates them, ‘denies their existence,’ or even wants them dead. 

Pushing community members, especially naive children/young people, to cut themselves off from friends & loved ones who may question or contradict the trans community, or may simply fail to follow elaborate and bizarre protocols trans communities lead young members to expect. 

Creating the false impression of a trans murder epidemic, which binds members to the trans community & increases their fear of the outside world out of all proportion to actual risk.

Inflating suicide risk & presenting transition as the only alternative to suicide when it comes to dealing with gender dysphoria. This increases desperation to transition, suppresses questions or doubts a person may have, & pushes patients to conceal other issues from doctors.

Vilifying and attacking detransitioners as traitors and existential threats to the community, thus demonstrating to current members of the trans community *exactly what will happen to them* if they step out of line or—god forbid—leave.

Teaching community members to bury their own questions and doubts by labeling any uncertainty about gender identity, transition, or community dynamics as manifestations of “internalized transphobia” that cause harm not just to the individual but to ALL TRANS PEOPLE.
