#11  Has it never occurred to the medical authorities that the 'syndrome' may be a symptom of a larger, more profound problem rather than an isolated issue unto itself.

#7  I worked with a man who underwent gender reassignment surgery. He was not pleasant to be around either before or after surgery. He really hated straight men after his surgery because no one would date her/him. He couldn't or wouldn't understand why.

#5  They blame us for the suicide rate. They say it's our fault for not treating them with the sensitivity and care that they deserve. The suicide rate argument is a non-starter with the left.

#4  This is why Johns-Hopkins stopped doing gender reassignment surgery many years ago. The surgery did not change the actual gender, only the appearance of the person. A majority regretted having the surgery and many killed themselves. I do feel compassion for people who are so unhappy with their biology they are willing to mutilate themselves but ultimately find they are no better off. This is a mental disorder.

#3  Transgenders run the HIGHEST SUICIDE Rate of any group.
This is true before they undergo gender-concealing treatments, and does not decrease after treatment. Perhaps a different kind of treatment should be tried?

#2  It should be noted also.
Transgenders run the HIGHEST SUICIDE Rate of any group. Various clinical research study data shows suicide rates ranging from 1/4 to and 1/3 plus depending on the starting sex and ending sexual orientation.

HRC Staff • September 12, 2018 "More than half of transgender male teens who participated in the survey reported attempting suicide in their lifetime, while 29.9 percent of transgender female teens said they attempted suicide. Among non-binary youth, 41.8 percent of respondents stated that they had attempted suicide at some point in their lives."


To me a when I see a constant High Suicide Rates stemming from the actions of persons in any clearly defined group. I tend to lean towards associating a shared MENTAL ILLNESS as the primary cause.
