You're just stuck between a rock and a hard place in this scenario. You can live with (genuine) dysphoria and cause duress for yourself because of a constant, niggling feeling that you're never going to be something you feel like you should, or you go through with it only to put a bandage over a deep, festering wound--both metaphorically and literally. It's ridiculous that it takes a study to prove that the latter is a significantly more dire situation instead of assuming it through common sense, but of course nobody will listen to it anyway. At least with just dysphoria, you can pantomime a functional life. Transitioning via surgery is a destructive and often irreversible event which only worsens dysphoria from anecdotes I've seen, assuming it doesn't just do nothing for the patient's mental health to begin with. I've observed the same two people go through SRS every single time. The first are the ones that regret it. The second are the ones who are clearly lying to themselves, touting that they now experience the other sex's orgasms or derive more sexual satisfaction, both of which are physically impossible (with the opposite effect expected) given the nature of the procedure for both sexes. As for the suicide rates, people try to point to society or social acceptance, yet transgender individuals have an identical suicide rate in nearly every country where gender dysphoria is prevalent, if I remember correctly.
Rather than developing psychological treatment for gender dysphoria, we've chosen to enable it. It isn't comparable to the social stigma and paranoia which had existed against homosexuality like some try to assert, because homosexuality isn't disruptive and damaging to a person's life. Gender dysphoria, conversely, is and can be seen as quite analogous to body integrity identity disorder (a rather unexplored condition as far as I'm aware), except the latter relates to a person feeling as though a limb (or even body part like their eyes) doesn't belong on their body. Yet the recorded instances of doctors enabling this condition (such as an infamous case a few years ago of a doctor pouring bleach on a patient's eyes to enabled her BIID where she felt she was meant to be born blind) are barred from the practice. While yes, psychology is far from a concrete and objective science, therapy and psychological treatment would at least would serve to prevent people from mutilating themselves and others rather than facilitating it. But now we're at a point where the people suffering from gender dysphoria are indignant when they aren't enabled to destroy their lives. SRS is a pipe dream and isn't realistically feasible with current medical technology, let alone with any medical technology in the foreseeable future. Psychological treatment, while still imperfect, is still the best option in my opinion and we should focus on developing that further instead.
You know, over flying out to a borderline third world country and paying a foreign doctor to treat your lower torso like it's organic Play-Doh because they were the lowest bidder.
