From Breitbart: Transgender surgery raises the rates of depression, suicidal impulses, anxiety, and drug addiction, a huge new study says.
Yet the study’s authors concluded that governments should just spend more on the “mental health” of patients to offset the damage of transgender therapies.
The study is another blow for transgender activists and friendly judges who insist that transgender medical treatments be funded by taxpayers because the treatments are supposedly life-saving forms of self-expression. That argument is fundamental in the activists’ fight against current efforts by the federal government and state governments to protect children and youths from transgender advocacy.
The study of 107,583 patients posted in the Journal of Sexual Medicine reported that depression doubled among men who underwent transgender surgery: “Males with surgery showed a higher prevalence of depression (25.4% vs. 11.5%, RR 2.203, P < 0.0001) and anxiety (12.8% vs. 2.6%, RR 4.882, P < 0.0001).”
The study found that women also suffered additional depression and anxiety, and men who undergo “feminizing” procedures — such as genital removal — were more likely to be depressed and to begin using drugs.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, commented on the report:
Another nail in the coffin of transgender ideology. If transgender surgeries can lead to a significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders, where is the activist-touted benefit? (Not to mention the mutilation, scarring, and life-long medication needs after surgery.)
It’s time to face facts and offer real help, not harm to people suffering with gender dysphoria.

Dr. Simone Gold also weighed in, writing, “A bombshell study reveals that transgender individuals who undergo gender-affirming surgery face significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse. This isn’t “life-saving care”—it’s medical malpractice.”
