The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

The course targeted at #UWaterloo offers a “philosophical analysis of issues relating to sex/gender.” As a small gesture of solidarity to those working in this field, we are offering a free digital copy of Shannon Dea’s Beyond the Binary (developed in connection with this course)

Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.

Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.

There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.

A new report from the FAO shows that this government has underspent on education by $844 million. Children are stuck in crowded classrooms, lacking the supports they need while Ford and Lecce tell Ontarians that they have made historic investments in our schools. 1/2

CUPE's education workers are asking for a $3.25/hr raise. That would get them back to where their incomes were ten years ago. @Sflecce & @fordnation's offer would result in their incomes being 20% below their 2012 incomes. Which offer is fair?
