NYT … Shows Why Sex Changes Are So Dangerous
The New York Times profiled a study which cites research suggesting that sex changes are not an effective treatment for gender dysphoria.
What did it report?
(the study) by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that trans people in Denmark had 7.7 times the rate of suicide attempts and 3.5 times the rate of suicide deaths of the non-trans population. The study, which was conducted by analyzing the health records of more than six million people over the span of four decades, dealt with individuals aged 15 and over.
That is not a small figure/sample size.
“Elevated rates of all-cause mortality among transgender individuals have also been reported in studies from Sweden and the United States,” the JAMA study notes, citing a 2011 study that found that patients’ risks for death actually increased after they received sex changes.
But isn’t the legacy media and the activists/politicians telling us the opposite, that trans-surgeries save lives?
“Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group,” the 2011 study found.
But mental health does not equal the money/profits gender mutilation surgeries can make for the doctors/hospitals!
And mental health has been an issue that has for a long time been called to be acted upon, yet always the last option for lawmakers, it seems.
