You know that the general surgical regret rate for all procedures, not just ones done on trans people, is like 14% right? In those cases there's probably a similar lack of long-term follow-up, so it should be comparable. It's kinda impossible to ensure that regardless.

What do you think happens to those patients they lose contact with?

Most continue to be happy or content with their results. Getting SRS is major surgery, you have to take time off work to heal and can't do strenuous activity. I can see how someone could resent that in the moment but over time it gets better.

Some studies even purposely fake their figures. https://segm.org/ajp_correction_2020

Ah yeah SEGM, an organization literally run by the same dozen or so transphobic ppl in all the other organizations they start, funded by evangelicals:

You can see this in real time with your own eyes if you go on srs forums, people openly say they have complications and are miserable but will keep quiet for the good of the cause.

I'm trans, I personally know multiple ppl who have had SRS and love that they've had it, I'm planning on it myself
