Transgender Surgeries Don't Improve Mental Health, Peer-Reviewed Studies Show

People with gender dysphoria who underwent surgical transition reported “higher loneliness levels” than gender-dysphoric people who didn’t. Those with gender dysphoria, especially children, tend to have lower life satisfaction than the general population, and it doesn’t get any better after transgender surgery.

The research serves as yet another blow to the popular narrative that transgender treatments have solid scientific backing and are beneficial to mental health. In fact, studies used to justify these procedures are often deeply flawed, and insiders of the sex-change industry acknowledge the dangers associated with this form of “care.”
