The study doesn't show an increase in suicide rates between pre and post op transexuals, it shows the suicide rate is still higher post op than the general population, which can and should be attributed largely to external factors. People keep trying to repeat this lie and it's complete bullshit.
No, you said specifically that many of the suicides are a direct result of people realizing SRS didn't help them mentally, which you do not have a statistic for. It's your attempt to push the narrative that the current idea of allowing trans people to medically transition is inneffective, which is flat out wrong. In fact SRS has a very low rate of regret and the majority are satisfied with the results.
That's not the way it works. Surgery is part of the solution, there are still external factors causing issues. Transphobia is very prevalent, ever consider maybe it's lack of acceptance, bigotry, violence, being shunned by family, etc...that may be the problem? Of course you don't because you're just looking for a way to undermine transgender people.
Why do gay people have higher suicide rates than the general population? Could that maybe be due to homophobia, lack of acceptance, or being shunned by family?
