Justin Merriman / Getty Images On Friday, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine issued a series of executive orders that aim to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender people of all ages in the state.
For years, far right commentators opposed to gender-affirming care have pushed the dubious claim that trans people who undergo gender-affirming surgeries later experience regret. However, recently published research demonstrates that fewer than 1 percent of all trans people who undergo gender-affirming surgery experience post-surgical regret - a rate that is far lower than the rate of surgical regret among cisgender people who undergo other surgeries.
