97% of trans people are happy once they get surgery.The 3% only regret it due to social pressure.

They have a huge dropout rate on these surveys. The drop out on trans research is 30-70%, usually 10% would bring the research into question. They just don't bother keeping tabs on their patients.

And what do you think happens to those 30-70% who just disappear?

The only good study so far is the Swedish one and that shows suicide attempts go up after surgery.

You can have plenty of “lost to follow-up” but your data better be bloody good. One of the things I did early in my medical research career was write to the lost patient’s GPs in the hope of getting some follow up data for our research. It was almost always “patient died” as it was cancer research, but that was invaluable data. The fact that no one is trying to contact these trans patients is suspect as hell, and it’s why the NHS has now said that they will follow every trans patient very carefully from now on, because as I understand it, our NICE (the body that decides what gets paid for on the NHS and what doesn’t) is struggling to justify funding lots of the trans healthcare stuff due to the lack of evidence.

Same with post surgery trans treatment, which is why they don't want to look into it.

The highest percentage of "lost to followup" I've seen in trans research is about half.

Your results are garbage at even a few percent. If you are studying a cohort where "the patient died" means your desired result is invalidated, "lost to followup" is a huge red flag BTW
