Surgical Satisfaction, Quality of Life, and Their Association After Gender-Affirming Surgery: A Follow-up Study

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28471328/

I have to leave in 20 minutes for my allergy shots and won’t be back until about noon.  But due to misinformation being pushed in comments, I am going to post a few studies to show that the dissatisfaction rate for transitioning or GAS is much lower than pushed by anti-trans people.   Hugs

Of 546 eligible persons, 201 (37%) responded, of whom 136 had undergone GAS (genital, chest, facial, vocal cord and/or thyroid cartilage surgery). Main outcome measures were procedure performed, self-reported complications, and satisfaction with surgical outcomes (standardized questionnaires), QoL (Satisfaction With Life Scale, Subjective Happiness Scale, Cantril Ladder), gender dysphoria (Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale), and psychological symptoms (Symptom Checklist-90). Postoperative satisfaction was 94% to 100%, depending on the type of surgery performed.
