this has already been studied
The regret rate is 1%. you're more likely to regret having kids (7%), getting a tattoo (16.2%),, or having knee replacement surgery (20%).
While social transitioning and hormone replacement seems to be less studied than gender affirming surgeries (GAS), there was a 2021 study that looked at the factors that involved regret for transitioning. The study found that of participants who ever pursued gender affirmirmation, only 13% reported detransitioning AND of that 13%:
Keep in mind those are % of % so if you want to say the internal-factored regret rate of individuals who pursued gender affirmation and detransitioned then you get 2% (.13 x .159).
Id be very skeptical of any US-gov backed research in these areas going forward
Ah but it hasn't been studied with threats if you don't find high regret rates
