Huge Study Says Transgender Surgery Doubles Depression Rates
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).” Women also suffered additional depression and anxiety, the study said: “Females exhibited similar trends, with elevated depression (22.9% vs. 14.6%, RR 1.563, P < 0.0001) and anxiety (10.5% vs. 7.1%, RR 1.478, P < 0.0001).” (Read more from "Huge Study Says Transgender Surgery Doubles Depression Rates" HERE)
