New page

==About==
Much is made about post-surgical regret, but as far as I can tell this happens only for one of the following reasons:
* The patient is coerced into surgery as a condition for receiving other services or supplies necessary for transitioning (e.g. hormones)
* The patient has mistaken ideas about the benefits or risks of surgery, and is allowed to proceed without first being fully informed (this is why the "informed" part of [[informed consent]] is crucial)
* The surgery goes badly (seems to be very rare),
* The surgery results in reduced genital sensation, which sometimes leads to regret.

===notes===
* Walt Heyer and Jerry Leach, both of whom have apparently made careers out of their surgery regrets, allegedly both lied to their therapists in order to get surgery recommendations. (Still trying to track down this claim.)
