Nope, suicide rates increase after transition and more so after surgery.

No point linking to an article written by lobby groups, look at the actual research.

because it doesn't fix the narcissism that creates their delusion. so the second they experience any kind of hard self-reflection and realize how far they've gone, their ego will be so damaged that they are provoked to suicide.

most people who attempt suicide can at least walk back or reverse some of their issues with time. but you can't undo mutilation.

It can go both ways. It's because they realize their last hope was a false one.

Also partly not to do with transition at all.

Most trans people have a personality disorder and they have very high suicide rates. BPD is 20% die by suicide.

It's actually quite sad. Some people are clearly genuine and being sold a lie about how this will make them a woman. Then the reality hits. It's really irresponsible by the medical practises.
