“…One argument often made is that the two-signature system limits reversion to the birth assigned gender role after gender-related surgeries as reversion can have catastrophic psychological sequelae. Indeed, around 2%À3% of trans people who have undergone genital surgery regret it 5 and revert to their assigned gender role (Land en, Wa linder, Hambert, & Lundstr€ om, 1998;Lawrence, 2003;Michel, Ansseau, Legros, Pitchot, & Mormont, 2002;Nieder et al, 2013), although this is lower in areas which have stringent requirements before surgery. Whether this is an acceptable margin for such a complex procedure, what causes those reversions, and whether two signatures from within a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary team avert more reversions are the pertinent points here.…”
