QuoteIndeed, in a review of the outcome literature Pfafflin (1992) reports that less than 1% of the female-to-male transsexuals who had undergone sex reassignment had any regrets. For male-to-female transsexuals the number was slightly higher at less than 2%. Later studies supporting Pfafflin's report include Bodlund O. et al., (1996); Cohen-Kettenis P.T (1997); Exner, K. et al., (1995); Rakic, Z. et al., (1996), and Smith Y. L. et al., (2001). It should be noted that satisfaction is measured by self report of improvement in the individual's psychosocial well being.

QuoteAltogether 325 consecutive adolescent and adult applicants for sex reassignment participated: After treatment the group was no longer gender dysphoric. The vast majority functioned quite well psychologically, socially and sexually. Two non-homosexual male-to-female transsexuals expressed regrets.

Credit where due: couldn't remember 'just a random name'? LOL

Used to do this:

"But it's no use now," thought poor Alice, "to pretend be two people!
"Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!"

I wrote a multi-page rant on the mythology of post SRS/GCS regret a couple of years ago.  It does link to a few pertinent studies and takes on the anti-transition propaganda of Walt Heyer and his disciples.

There is a link near the top of the post to skip down past the morsel of medical history (although being the geek that I am, it's my favorite part).

On a slightly side-note, back in the day when the Trans Rights bill was having hearings in the Maryland State Senate, I was there along with a very large cross section of TG advocates. The "Loyal Opposition" had their supporters too. But what got me was:
A) About every one the opposition presented either had a family member that was "Trans" but miraculously was "Cured"
B) Those who did de-transitioned and blamed every one but themselves for following that path. Mind control tricks, hypnosis, peer pressure, you name it. You have to wonder how any of the post-ops (FTM probably only top surgery) got any clearance letters. If at all?
C) How ABSOLUTELY Bitter and Hate FIlled towards the TG community they were. The vitriol was amazing!

Since the opposition was headed up by a big name (and big $$$) anti-trans activist group, It got to make you wonder about any de-transitioned and/or regret stats. They have a Well Funded axe to grind
