Correction: Transgender Surgery Does Not Help Mental Health, Academics Belatedly Admit

Last year, a groundbreaking study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP) claimed to prove that transgender surgery improves the mental health of people suffering from gender dysphoria (the persistent and painful identification with the gender opposite one’s biological sex). Earlier this month, however, AJP issued a “correction” that acknowledged key flaws in the study and admitted that the true results “demonstrated no advantage of surgery.” This represents a severe blow to the transgender ideological takeover of American medicine.

The original AJP article “Reduction in Mental Health Treatment Utilization Among Transgender Individuals After Gender-Affirming Surgeries: A Total Population Study,” written by Richard Bränström, Ph.D., and John E. Pachankis, Ph.D. and published on October 4, 2019, analyzed a newly available dataset from Sweden. The study found that people with gender dysphoria were “about six times as likely” to have a mood and anxiety disorder health-care visit and far more likely to be hospitalized for a suicide attempt.

The study compared gender dysphoric people who did not take cross-sex hormones or undergo transgender surgery with those who did. The authors admitted that “years since initiating hormone treatment was not significantly related to likelihood of mental health treatment,” but claimed that “increased time since last gender-affirming surgery was associated with reduced mental health treatment.”

What an absolutely horrible mental illness!
To believe one is trapped in the body of the wrong sex. How would one conclude such a belief unless guided by someone (parent?). Perhaps the parent wanted a baby girl but got a baby boy? Very sad indeed.

But then, instead of helping this poor victim of child abuse the communist medical community GOES ALONG WITH IT! Even going so far as mutilating the victim’s body - which furthers the abuse to a whole new level of torture.

It's no different than cutting off an arm or a leg. Mental illness is not "cured" by lopping off body parts (or putting them on).
