“Regret after Gender Affirming Surgery – A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Multifaceted Patient Experience”
https://journals.lww.com/plasreconsurg/Abstract/9900/_Regret_after_Gender_Affirming_Surgery___A.1529.aspx


>Introduction:
>Lasting regret after g ender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a difficult multifaceted clinical scenario with profound impacts on individual wellbeing as well as a politically charged topic. Currently we lack professional guidelines or standards of care to help providers and patients navigate this entity . This article summarizes our Transgender Health Program’s cohesive multi-disciplinary lifespan approach to mitigate, evaluate , and treat any form of temporary or permanent regret after GAS.
>Methods:
>A multidisciplinary (primary care, pediatric endocrinology, psychology, social work, plastic surgery, urology, gynecology, and bioethics) workgroup including cisgender, transgender and gender diverse professionals met for a duration of 14 months. The incidence of individuals who underwent GAS at our program between 2016 and 2021 and subsequently expressed desire to reverse their gender transition was reported.
>Results:
>A total of 1989 individual underwent GAS, 6 patients (0,3%) were encountered that either requested reversal surgery or transitioned back to their sex-assigned at birth. A multi-disciplinary assessment and care pathway for patients who request reversal surgery is presented in the article.
>Conclusions:
>A care environment that welcomes and normalizes authentic expression of gender identity, affirms surgical goals without judgement, and de-stigmatizes the role of mental health in the surgical process are foundational to mitigating the occurrence of any form of regret. We hope this can provide a framework to distinguish between normal postoperative distress, temporary forms of grief and regret, and regret due to societal repercussions, surgical outcomes or gender identity.

It's still funny to me because 4ch users are genuinely more defensive of their social media platform than anywhere else. MAYBE tumblr was worse back in its heyday.
