[Serious] That Trans Thread

[Jehanne]

I also found another study about the rate of regrets after gender-affirming surgery. Spoiler alert: it's less than 1%.

Other rates of regret for things that the right-wing isn't pulling out all the stops to halt:

• Knee replacement surgery: 18%.
  
• Getting a tattoo: anywhere from 23% to 78%.
  
• Going to college: A bit more than a third
  
• Having kids: 13.6%
  

And to quote Chase Strangio, deputy director for trans justice at the ACLU:

I once actively donated plasma and regret it. We were poor and my son wanted a laptop and I got some extra $20 here and there from plasma donations; I now suffer from some episodic nerve pain in my left arm, although, it had gotten better over the years.
