    So the takeaway from this is that “regret” from gender-affirming mastectomies isn’t 1% as often claimed in the media. It’s actually 0%:

    The median Decision Regret Scale score was 0.0 (IQR, 0.0-0.0) on a 100-point scale, with lower scores noting lower levels of regret.

    Literally not a single one of these dudes regretted it.

      That isn’t what that number says. All it tells you is that at least 50% of respondents scored a zero.

      FWIW, trans rights are human rights. No disagreement there. But that’s not what that number is telling you.

        Moreover, they say that the media talk about 1% (or less, realistically), but here there are barely 139 respondents.

        Disclaimer: Just highlighting a fact for those who fall for confirmation bias, trans rights and blah blah blah to avoid harassment.

          To add to that, there might sadly be a survivor bias : some people who regretted were not able to give their opinion

            That’s a good point too. Come to think of it, you could also have had missing numbers from the other direction too: people who wouldn’t have regretted it but didn’t have the opportunity to give their opinion.
