Quote:A study of over 107,000 patients with gender dysphoria over the age of 18 has concluded that those who undergo sex change surgeries are at greater risk for mental health problems, including depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and others.

The paper, published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine, stated in conclusion that sex change surgery is "associated with increased risk of mental health issues." The results section stated that "from 107 583 patients, matched cohorts demonstrated that those undergoing surgery were at significantly higher risk for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders than those without surgery."

It said of those who got sex change surgery, "Our analysis reveals a significantly elevated risk of mental health disorders-including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorder-post-surgery among individuals with a prior diagnosis of gender dysphoria."

Males and females who underwent sex change surgery had a higher risk of depression, according to the study. Although those who underwent surgery had a higher rate of mental health issues, the study claimed that the surgeries were "beneficial in affirming gender identity."

The study authors noted that "the heightened risk of mental health issues post-surgery was particularly pronounced among individuals undergoing feminizing transition compared to masculinizing transition."

Sex change surgeries as well as cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers have come under heavy scrutiny in the United States, particularly in the treatment of those who are minors. Recently, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would cut off any federal funding going toward organizations that offer sex change services for minors. Additionally, the Trump administration has moved to remove trans-identified soldiers from the US military.
