If you have a patient that is experiencing gender dysphoria, you absolutely do not jump to hormone replacement therapy.Proof? I’ve yet to see anything showing that this gender affirming stuff affects the suicide rate.
Part of the reason why people commit suicide despite undergoing affirming behaviors or medications is because regardless of what you do, the root of the problem is mental affirmation. This is why regular meetings with councilors and psychologists is a requirement. They help you and give you coping mechanisms to deal with your depression, exercises to help you with self-affirmation. Then, if you're a consenting adult, you may do whatever you want to your body.
People like Keffals, Chloe or Sean are dangerously skipping important steps in this process and reducing the chance that these people can live normal lives.
