I never looked into details concerning these “numbers”. It looks like such a high percent is either a result of cope and casual idea that getting surgery/hormone therapy = their goal = therefore trannies must be happy now.

I don’t doubt that this is what makes them happier but they forgot to notice that if they were truly happy, no one would be angry about the pronouns etc. This is also only about the physical changes (well, and also name change, etc.) but how do one measure the feelings? These people have serious mental problems. Their issues with body image and how one is perceived is only one side of it. Suppose someone will have a surgery, get new documents, start to “officially” live with a new identity. Troons say this is what the need to feel better but it doesn’t take away their internal problems, their trauma accumulated in life, depression, etc. Not to add dangers associated with surgery, risky habits of various troons and so on.

I can believe that for example with proper care a suicidal teenager can get a happy and meaningful life but if said teenager is also trans, the chances are much lower IMO.

In adulthood they get to have whatever they feel like needing, they can fully wreck their own life or try to restore it to a better state (if they can). Surgery is something that rather complicated the way back, as certain detransitioners show.

Not only that though but i wouldn't doubt they're happy because it's feeding their delusions still.This is the equivalent of someone making a clone of a woman i love and telling me this is just like the real thing.There's a reason that trans women demand that cis man date them because"I have a vagina now,so i'm a woman."The fact that they truly believe the surgical vagina is the exact same as a biological vagina should tell you that this isn't the cure.
