Study done on gender reassignment problems

This retrospective study utilized de-identified patient data from the TriNetX (TriNetX, LLC, Cambridge, MA) database, involving 56 United States healthcare organizations and over 90 million patients. The study involved four cohorts: cohort A, adults aged 18-60 who had gender-affirming surgery and an emergency visit (N = 1,501); cohort B, control group of adults with emergency visits but no gender-affirming surgery (N = 15,608,363); and cohort C, control group of adults with emergency visits, tubal ligation or vasectomy, but no gender-affirming surgery (N = 142,093). Propensity matching was applied to cohorts A and C. Data from February 4, 2003, to February 4, 2023, were analyzed to examine suicide attempts, death, self-harm, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within five years of the index event. A secondary analysis involving a control group with pharyngitis, referred to as cohort D, was conducted to validate the results from cohort C.

Results

Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not (3.47% vs. 0.29%, RR 95% CI 9.20-15.96, p < 0.0001). Compared to the tubal ligation/vasectomy controls, the risk was 5.03-fold higher before propensity matching and remained significant at 4.71-fold after matching (3.50% vs. 0.74%, RR 95% CI 2.46-9.024, p < 0.0001) for the gender affirmation patients with similar results with the pharyngitis controls.

Conclusion

Patients who have undergone gender-affirming surgery are associated with a significantly elevated risk of suicide.

The people who decide to have this done to themselves face having to deal with the fact that their one and only body has literally been mutilated. It's horrifying and shocking and permanent.

Also, a person who feels they've been born in the wrong body to begin with are very depressed individuals, possibly with one or two OTHER untreated mental health issues. The hormone injections which are necessary after these mutilating surgeries would drive almost anyone to the point of suicide. They cause wild hormonal mood fluctuations.

Add to the above the fact that most Trans men really do NOT look like women. They go out into the dating scene thinking they will now find love, and that they will NOW suddenly become happy, and it almost never happens for them.
