Risk of suicide increases 12x after gender affirming surgery
Pictured below is a sad account of a young person from the US who had body mutilating surgery (gender affirming care), and the health complications they had, as well as the regret which led to them taking their life.
The results of a detailed study found there is a 12x greater chance of people committing suicide after receiving gender affirming care.
The study, supported with money from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Texas, was published in April 2024, and looked at data from over 16 million patients across the United States.
