Unscrupulous healthcare professionals who profit handsomely from inflicting “gender-affirming care” on children may use emotional blackmail to get parents to go along, convincing them that the horrific procedures will make the mentally disturbed child being victimized less likely to commit suicide. “Better a live daughter than a dead son,” distraught parents are told. Like every other aspect of transgenderism, this is an outrageous lie.

In a new study, those who underwent sex change surgery were 12 times more likely to commit suicide than those who did not:

The study utilized patient data from 56 health care organizations in the U.S. and over 90 million patients. Four different groups of patients were looked at in the study, including 1,501 people aged 18-60 who had “gender-affirming surgery” and an emergency visit (cohort A) and 15,608,363 adults who visited the emergency room but had no “gender-affirming surgery” (cohort B). The third group (cohort C) included 142,093 “adults with emergency visits, tubal ligation or vasectomy, but no gender-affirming surgery,” while a fourth group of patients with pharyngitis (cohort D) was studied “to validate the results from cohort C.”

“Data from February 4, 2003, to February 4, 2023, were analyzed to examine suicide attempts, death, self-harm, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within five years of the index event,” the study said, adding that its results found that “Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not.”

Few reasonable people will be surprised by these results. Having your body painfully disfigured into a freakish parody of the opposite sex is hardly likely to improve mental health. Nonetheless, the wicked lie that sexually mutilating children protects them from suicide is pushed by the liberal establishment, including the Biden Regime.
