The regret rate for transition related medical procedures is lower than other comparable procedures. Can we agree that transition related procedures are medicine, and we should hold them to the same standards as other medical treatments?

You say it's concerning- that's your bias. We do agree it has increased. There benign reasons why this could be true, though of course more research is needed. Experts I've spoken with posited A) awareness had an outsized impact on AFABs bc trans men were more invisible. 1/

2/ The common/expected course for gender dysphoria may be different in AFABs vs AMABs, occurring mostly in childhood for AMABs and mostly in adolescence in AFABs (perhaps tied to breast development). Guesses only, of course. But if there isn't also rising regret isn't it moot?

They actually have also seen increases among AMAB children- there were increases across the board, but a greater increase among AFABs. It used to be almost all AMABs, now I believe it's closer to 50/50 with a slight edge to AFABs, and there does seem to be a difference in age.
