A comprehensive study recently published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine has raised significant concerns about the mental health outcomes of individuals undergoing sex-change surgeries.
Analysing data from over 107,000 patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the research suggests that those who pursue such procedures face a markedly higher risk of mental health challenges compared to those who do not.
The study, which focused on adults over the age of 18, compared two matched cohorts: individuals who had undergone sex-change surgery and those who had not. The findings were stark.

According to the researchers, “Our analysis reveals a significantly elevated risk of mental health disorders—including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorder—post-surgery among individuals with a prior diagnosis of gender dysphoria.”
Breaking down the data by gender, the study found that both males and females who underwent these procedures experienced a greater likelihood of depression compared to their counterparts who did not have surgery.
Here is a table of their findings. The red columns represent cohorts that underwent "gender-affirming" surgery, and blue columns represent cohorts that did not.

This challenges the narrative that so called ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries universally improve mental well-being by alleviating gender dysphoria. Instead, the research suggests that surgical interventions do not address the root causes of psychological distress and could, in some cases, exacerbate them.
The implications of these findings are profound, particularly as the number of individuals seeking sex-change surgeries continues to rise.
For years, advocates have argued that such procedures are a critical step toward mental health stability for those experiencing gender dysphoria.
The previous regime in the US even argued that blocking puberty, removing genitals, or adding fake genitals is necessary to keep people, including children, mentally healthy and to stop them from killing themselves.

This isn’t “life-saving care”—it’s medical malpractice.

So it’s the exact opposite of what they claim. Turns out chopping off peoples genitals and inverting them causes suicidal ideation? Wow. Shocker. Really, who could have possibly foreseen that outcome. Well, at least the doctors weren’t doing this to childre……… ?

Who would’ve guessed that genitalia mutilation isn’t the key to happiness?

Let's see, person is depressed but told mangling their body will fix that. Then person has mutilated body plus existing depression, leading to even worse outcomes.

Calling it mental health issues is a nice way to cover up what really fuels this – behaviors that are seeking social attention fueled by envy and pride. The failure to gain such social attention can manifest as mental health.
Those undergoing such surgery are ALREADY suffering from mental health problems. Specifically delusion. You CANNOT change your sex (or gender) by having an operation, or by any other means. The simple human biological truth is male or female (yes, I know there are some genetic disorders, but that is irrelevant).
Once the surgery is done there’s no going back, you can’t fix it once it’s broken and that IMO it what’s causing these suicides REGRET!
Yes, and when they look in the mirror, they see an man that looks like an ugly woman, now that would be depressing.
