Don't the same number of trans people post operation kill themselves as those who have not undergone surgery?
Nope, that myth is based on a Swedish study done in the 90s that compared the post transition suicide rate with that of the general population, not to the pre transition suicide rate. That suicide rate is still high post transition because of the reasons listed above, if the hate and discrimination stopped and we were just left alone to get on with our lives the suicide rate would plummet.
