Trans activists and woke medical professionals have long warned that denying young people gender-affirming care, such as mastectomy and castration, increases their likelihood of self-harming and suicide.
However, a new study published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine finds that these permanent medical procedures are themselves closely linked to increased suicide rates and mental health therapy is still the ultimate solution.
The study analyzed adult transgender individuals with gender dysphoria post-gender-affirming surgery based on their gender and the time they underwent the medical procedures. It found that transitioned individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgeries had increased incidences of mental health problems.
“Mental health outcomes included depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, substance use disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder, assessed over two years post-surgery using clinician-verified ICD-10 codes.” Additionally, “those undergoing surgery were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders than those without surgery.”
According to the study, male subjects showed a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety post-surgery, while “Feminizing individuals demonstrated particularly high risk for depression” and substance abuse. Despite the sobering findings, the study did not discourage the mutilating gender-affirming treatments but recommended post-surgery mental health therapy.
“Gender-affirming surgery, while beneficial in affirming gender identity, is associated with increased risk of mental health issues, underscoring the need for ongoing, gender-sensitive mental health support for transgender individuals’ post-surgery.”
Many parents opted for gender-affirming procedures believing it would prevent their children from committing suicide. Turns out they only need mental health therapy, which could have been provided to save their lives before undergoing permanent life-altering procedures, that only exacerbate their mental health problems.
Surprisingly, it was known all along that no conclusive evidence suggests that gender-affirming care reduces suicides. In fact, suicides related to individuals with gender dysphoria are likely related to other comorbidities but not the lack of gender-affirming care.
Before Trump took office and social media platforms abandoned censorship, referring to gender dysphoria as a mental illness was categorized as hateful content. Yet, even trans activists also advocate for “mental health therapy” after their victims undergo invasive and life-altering surgeries.
They wouldn’t dare recommend causing loss of business .You’d think it would be obvious but instead even more obviously they recommend more .
