god dammit I'm lookin' for a good study to show my mom about transgender mental health & confirmation surgery but most of 'em either suck or are

@BlueVeins Many people will look at the subject matter and assume the transformation is causing the mental health problems, but the health problems actually precede the transformation in most cases. I know this is anecdotal, but I know many trans people who are much happier after going through their changes, even non-medical changes such as crossdressing.

@BlackPhillip Yeah, I'm in full agreement, I'm just looking for good proof that I can show to others.

@BlueVeins You'll find it. Unfortunately, no amount of proof or evidence will convince some people. Bigotry doesn't bend to science.
