Casual reminder that troon suicide rates don't improve after HRT & SRS. In fact
SRS in particular makes things worse.
The study you have linked cannot prove SRS makes things better
or worse for the patient due to the method used. It compares the lives of those who were diagnosed with GD and had already undergone SRS to the lives of those who were never diagnosed with GD and, consequently, never had undergone SRS. Unsurprisingly, it found out that transsexuals have a higher risk of suicide, among other things, than the healthy population, but what else is new?
To determine what effect
specifically SRS has on a patient’s quality of life, a study would have to do either of two things. It would have to track the lives of those diagnosed with GD
before and
after they had undergone SRS, or it would have to compare the lives of those who were diagnosed with GD and had undergone SRS to the lives of those who were diagnosed with GD but
had not undergone SRS. This way, the effects of SRS would be isolated from just having head issues from being a tranny.
In this study, they pulled data from the national registers of Sweden to gather information such as change of sex markers, deaths, and psychiatric and criminal records. They matched each of those who were diagnosed with GD and had undergone SRS with ten healthy controls of both birth and ‘final’ sexes and then compared their life outcomes
from the moment SRS was undergone. They controlled for immigrant status and previous psychiatric record.
If you want to use this study to dunk on trannies or whatnot, you can make fun of MtF transsexuals for retaining their male pattern of criminality. Funnily enough, FtM transsexuals had a male pattern of criminality instead of a female one. If I were to speculate, I would say that this is a result of roid rage.
I have attached the study for all who want to read it for themselves. It is eight pages long. If any of those reading this message want to access tranny studies themselves, use
Sci-Hub.
