Excerpts:
“The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between gender-affirmation surgery and the risk of suicide outcomes compared to two control groups with data from 2003 to 2023 . . .
Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not . . .
The results of this study show that gender-affirmation surgery is associated with a significantly higher risk of suicide, death, suicide/self-harm, and PTSD compared to control groups in this real-world database.”
Note: Though the authors attempt to frame the study results in terms of a need for “trans” mental healthcare, the data speaks for itself.
