"Having those surgeries is the way to have more alignment for who they truly are."

What is the suicide rate before and after?

What is the suicide rate before and after?

Much higher after. The surgery is never quite what they expect, though not always equally bad and some learn to live with it.

It also seriously weakens the body, so an early grave is still likely.

Unconditionally banning the surgery would save lives, even if some commit suicide without it.
