I decided to look up the suicide rates for these people and they are very high. For adults, it is around 30% (much higher than the general population in this country). For "transgendered teens" it is close to 50%.
Now, if there were any other surgery that had suicide rates that high, would people still be allowed to do it? No! There would be congressional hearings, there would be lawsuits. But, no, not this surgery. Any criticism of it is off limits.
There was an article some years ago by a physician who had started this whole gender-changing surgery. He had decided to stop doing it because it didn't help with the "pathologies" that he had seen before the surgery. They had the surgery, and still had all the problems. Nothing changed, so he decided to rethink it, and stop doing the surgeries.
Why did you cherry pick my statement?
I concluded by saying the risks were too high. Which is exactly what you pointed out.
