Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]
That reminds me always about that Bruce Willis movie "Surrogates". When such cases become known one has to regret that these people, who repent their transitioning to another gender, often can't get back so easily, especially not after alot of surgeries have altered their bodies so much.

It would be so much better for all involved if humans can play around with their individualities, express and change them at will, with no longer lasting problems...but we are not there ....yet!
But there are statistics already:
There is an unknown percentage of transgender and gender non-confirming individuals who undergo gender-affirmation surgeries (GAS) that experiences regret. Regret could lead to physical and mental morbidity and questions the appropriateness of these procedures in selected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of regret in transgender individuals who underwent GAS and evaluate associated factors.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8099405/
A total of 27 studies, pooling 7928 transgender patients who underwent any type of GAS, were included. The pooled prevalence of regret after GAS was 1% (95% CI <1%-2%). Overall, 33% underwent transmasculine procedures and 67% transfemenine procedures. The prevalence of regret among patients undergoing transmasculine and transfemenine surgeries was <1% (IC <1%-<1%) and 1% (CI <1%-2%), respectively. A total of 77 patients regretted having had GAS. ....But when that happens these people suffer doubly because of what can be called self-mutilation...
IMHO especially children need to be guarded against an eventual wrong decision...I don't understand parents who write happily in the social media about their "transgender" kids...it always sounds to me as if that is more about them wanting to be seen as "cool" than the happiness of their kids. In the worst case these children will suffer their parents foolishness their whole lives!
A higher minimum age for every transitioning should be mandatory!
