Individuals who undergo gender-reassignment surgery are at significantly elevated risk of a variety of serious negative health outcomes
People who undergo gender-reassignment surgery have a 12x increased risk of attempting to commit suicide, according to a new study, as well as suffering other mental-health problems like PTSD and self-harm.
The study, published in the journal Cureus, clearly shows that undergoing gender-reassignment, where the patient’s genitals are surgically rearranged and they also embark on a regimen of hormonal therapy, carries significant, potentially deadly, risks.
HHS Sec. Becerra says the quiet part out loud. Hospitals opposing transgender surgery for adults and children on religious grounds will forfeit federal funding.

The researchers note, “There is ongoing controversy surrounding the benefits of gender-affirmation surgery on mental health.”
Their aim was to explore the risk of “adverse outcomes”—suicide, death, self-harm and PTSD—in the five years following gender-reassignment, by comparing rates between different populations.
The researchers used the TriNetX database of health information and identified a total population of 15,609,864 adult patients to include in their study.
The results showed significant increases in the risk of all “adverse outcomes” for adults who had undergone gender-reassignment in the five years following surgery.
“Patients who had a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 12.12 times greater risk of suicide attempts… vs. patients who had no history of gender-affirmation surgery. In patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery, there was a 3.35 times greater risk of being deceased… Patients with a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 9.88 times higher risk of self-harm or suicide… Lastly, patients who had a history of gender-affirmation surgery had a 7.76 times higher risk of PTSD.”
Despite the shocking findings, the study authors still recommend the use of gender-reassignment surgery. They suggest better provision of healthcare services, especially mental-health treatments, for individuals who undergo such procedures, to ensure their suffering is kept to a minimum.
