cataract (good) knee (oh no) knee and hip replacements (along with lasik) are the kind of surgeries that would get insta-banned if governments who were banning transitioning because of “regret rates” were serious about that as a principle

Ehhhh I mean that's mostly an argument against using <50% regret rates as evidence that surgeries are bad. Most "regret" comes from people feeling like the surgery didn't help, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a shot

but “regret” is now an established argument to ban medical procedures, might as well go all the way (or they could recant and say even introducing that concept to the public sphere was a bad idea)
