Risk categories for post-operative regret include being older, having characterized personality disorders with personal and social instability, lacking family support, lacking sexual activity, and expressing dissatisfaction with the results of surgery. During the process of gender-affirming surgery, transgender people may become victims of different social obstacles such as discrimination, prejudice and stigmatizing behaviours. The rejection faced by trans people is much more severe than what is experienced by lesbians, gays, and bisexuals. The hostile environment may trigger or worsen internalized transphobia, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.
