==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.
