"The Medical Establishment Failed Me"—People Are Coming Out To Share Their Regret In Transitioning, But The Media Claims Trans Regret Is Less Than 1%
More individuals are coming out each day to share their regrets on transitioning, even though the media likes to claim regret occurs in less than 1% of those who received gender-affirming surgery. What's the truth?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with self-expression, embracing yourself, and being vocal about your identity. But when many young people are under the influence of the media, they begin to adopt other peoples’ forms of self-expression and ideas as their own. Their brains are still developing, after all. And the transgender movement, so pervasive in society – to the point where it has even caused gender identity issues in young people who weren’t experiencing gender dysphoria in the first place – has brought up concerns. If young people are making permanent decisions, what are the odds of them regretting their transition later on? Affirmation surgeries are permanent. Blockers halt the natural development of your body, causing physical problems. Lastly, the risk of regret is in both of these decisions, and society can’t continue to pretend that it’s not.
