Does anyone regret taking T and wish they weren't so hairy or wish something about it hadn't happened?

The only thing I've had issues with on T is acne. Everything else has been great, no regrets whatsoever. I'd much rather deal with some minor skin issues than the constant self loathing I had while being pre-T.

Firstly I'm very wary of studies which show a high per cent of trans guys regretting T. Most if not all are created by bigoted people who skew the results. I think when starting T you'll always find one or a few negative things you don't like from the puberty; same with cis people. If a trans person decides to stop hormones it's either due to the negative physical effects being too much or because they realise they're much more on the nb side.
For me I don't like the acne (although I had bad acne pre T so nothing new) and I don't like too much body hair bcos it makes me feel uncomfortable and dysphoric. Apart from that any negative side effects far outweigh the constant loud dysphoria I had pre T.
