I feel bad that someone committed suicide, but the answer to his issues was not to pretend he was a woman.

Quite the opposite. It is the absence of gender affirming treatments that is associated with suicide in people with gender dysphoria.

Adolescents and adults with gender dysphoria without gender-affirming treatment might be at risk of thinking about or attempting suicide. - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255

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.

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

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.
