That is the title of a news article about some research done at Johns Hopkins University. Yes, we've all seen articles that have discusses 'transition regret', in fact there is a Forum thread at TGH somewhere on the subject, and heard that this or that entity is citing 'transition regret' as a reason to just pump out more laws destined to be struck down by the courts. But, I found one section in the article quite interesting....

"Evidence suggests that less than 1% of transgender people who undergo gender-affirming surgery report regret. That proportion is even more striking when compared to the fact that 14.4% of the broader population reports regret after similar surgeries. "

Here is the complete article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/transgender-regret-research-challenges-narratives-about-gender-affirming-surgeries/ar-BB1h4DkZ?ocid=socialshare&pc=ASTS&cvid=606e92d5ec234853b38ee1cddd766574&ei=29

And if for some reason you have a JAMA Network account, you can read the actual research, and apparently more transgender related stuff, here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstract/2813212

They can take my house, my car, my money, my clothes... But there is one thing that no one can take, that I made, that I own outright; and that is my knowledge. They are always scared of my knowledge, something they can't take. That is the power I have, we have; it is our superpower.
