Contrary to the previously held narrative, sex reassignment surgery does not reduce the risk of suicide, but in fact, increases it, a recent study has found.

The risk of attempted suicide and suicide is more than 12 times higher among people who have undergone “gender identity-affirming surgery” than among those who have not, according to a new study, the Norwegian news portal Document points out.

This finding contradicts the earlier narrative that gender reassignment treatments are needed, even in childhood, as without them, the risk of suicide, among other negative outcomes, increases.

Study shows the exact opposite of what Trans Activists and “gender affirming surgery” doctors claim. Study shows that instead of decreasing risk of suicide surgery increases it twelve fold.

Time to start asking a LOT of questions about these surgeries.https://t.co/BmuUWF655E

The long-term study published in February, followed 2,772 people between the ages of 11 and 26.

It showed that most people outgrew gender dysphoria.

According to the official wording, “gender dysphoria is the discomfort or distress a person feels when their gender identity does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. This can lead to significant mental illness or disability.”

At the start of the study, one in ten children expressed varying degrees of “gender nonconformity”. By the age of 25, however, only one in five expressed dissatisfaction with their gender ‘often’ or ‘sometimes’.

The study found that although gender neutrality is relatively common in early adolescence, it tends to diminish with age and appears to be associated with poorer self-image and mental health throughout development.

The first study concludes that gender identity-affirming surgery is “significantly associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts” and stresses the need for “comprehensive psychiatric support” after the procedure.

The studies call into question the claims that gender-affirming surgery actually prevents suicide.
