Not that I give a shit, since the narrative that these surgeries are totally fucked up is a rational one, but that article is misinterpreting the study results.
I checked out the actual study publication, and it turns out that the study results show a higher 1-year suicide attempt risk for troons getting the surgery compared to the general population. The headline implies that the result is for troons getting the surgery vs troons not getting the surgery, but that would have required a control group of troons not getting the surgery, which the study didn’t look at. So for all we know, the risk increase they saw is due to the fact that these people are troons, and not the fact that they got the surgery. Also, they looked at the outcome of suicide attempts and not actual suicides, but that’s a more minor point.
Yeah they just scrapped data from 90 million patients. There was no control for trannies that never had surgery. It just shows that trannies who've had sex changes have a higher suicide attempt than the general population, but without data comparing it to no-surgery trannies this isn't anything new.
