Ironically, there's a study posted to /r/science near the top right now that puts the regret rate around 0.3%. That's better than most surgery.

Semi-true: that study is showing people who decide to get their surgery reversed. People express regret at around a 2% rate for gender-confirming surgeries…compared to around 13% for elective surgeries in general, so still way, way better.

That is true for this study. There are other studies that show the largest cause of medical regret in gender affirming surgery comes from social pressure as opposed to internally based regret though.
