CW gender dysphoria and suicide
Information regarding the relationship between childhood gender affirming care and depression/suicide rates as well as detransition rates and post op regret is much appreciateddetrans is something like 1-2%, and surgical regret is about the same, if not an order of magnitude lower still
Suicide is something like 40% in (all?) trans people and significantly higher if left untreated.
If I remember correctly it's 40% with untreated trans people, and with those who have gone through any sort of transitioning it drops to a number that's basically the same as the population at large.
Fortunately that stat is bullshit, it originated in a small study, in some Scandinavian country I think, where there was a follow-up phone call afterwards and 41% of the participants didn't pick up. I believe it was specifically 4chan that picked that number up, interpreted it the worst way possible on purpose and spread it around everywhere.
