Note that several gender-affirming treatments/surgeries are primarily performed on cisgender people, and on cis women in particular. | |||
'''TL;DR:''' The only procedure that is ''really'' close in terms of the extremely low regret rate for gender-affirming surgeries in trans people is double mastectomy in cis women who have the genetic marker for breast cancer (45-90% limetime risk of breast cancer<ref>"Women who have a BRCA1 gene mutation have a 60-90% lifetime risk and women who have a BRCA2 gene mutation have a 45–85% lifetime risk."

I've made the rows about trans people pink to make them easy to find. The table is sorted with low regret rates at the top and high regret rates at the bottom. | |||
