Very few young people who access gender-affirming medical care go on to regret it (www.scimex.org)

I am sick right now and can't be arsed to look up the study I saw, but I am pretty sure it was American trans people who transitioned who were tracked. From what I remember, like 5% detransitioned, but when they dug into their reasons, the vast majority of them did so for reasons other than regret at having done so. Their reasons were social, financial, etc. Only half a percent came back and said they weren't trans. One in 200.
