"It is important to highlight that detransition is not synonymous with regret. Although we found that a history of detransition was prevalent in our sample, this does not indicate that regret was prevalent. All existing data suggest that regret following gender affirmation is rare. For example, in a large cohort study of TGD people who underwent medical and surgical gender affirmation, rates of surgical regret among those who underwent gonadectomy were 0.6% for transgender women and 0.3% for transgender men. Many of those identified as having ‘‘surgical regret’’ noted that they did not regret the physical effects of the surgery itself but rather the stigma they faced from their families and communities as a result of their surgical affirmation. Such findings mirror the qualitative responses in this study of TGD people who detransitioned due to family and community rejection."
