'Transgender' individuals who undergo surgery face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts.
A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine of Oxford revealed the alarming risks associated with gender reassignment surgeries, seriously questioning their supposed effectiveness in treating gender dysphoria.
Based on an exhaustive analysis of 107,583 patients, the medical study reveals that these interventions not only fail to alleviate mental health issues but worsen them, doubling the rates of depression in those who undergo them.
According to the report, "transgender" individuals who undergo surgery face greater psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts, which significantly worsen their situation.

The data is compelling: men who underwent surgery experienced a depression rate of 25.4%, a dramatic increase compared to the 11.5% of those who avoided the operating room.
Among women, the situation is no better, with 22.9% of those operated on facing depression, compared to only 14.6% of those who did not undergo these invasive interventions.
These findings demonstrate that gender reassignment surgery, frequently promoted by the left and LGBT groups as a supposed "miracle solution", is causing more harm than benefit.
The researchers point to several reasons behind this concerning increase in mental health problems. The physical complications arising from complex surgical procedures and unrealistic expectations about the outcomes are factors that seem to contribute to psychological deterioration.

Additionally, the study suggests that many patients might be pushed toward these surgeries without a thorough analysis of their situation, resulting in regrets and subsequent trauma. The evidence calls into question the claims of those who advocate these operations as a universal solution for gender dysphoria.
Many experts and medical professionals pointed out that this data should serve as a warning to the medical community, which too often seems to prioritize invasive interventions over less risky alternatives, such as psychological therapy.
The cultural and media pressure to normalize these surgeries might be leading to hasty decisions, leaving patients in a state of greater emotional fragility.
"Gender affirmation surgery, while beneficial for affirming gender identity, is associated with a higher risk of mental health issues," the report concludes.
