NOTE

Questioning Assumptions on Gender Transition and Mental Health

Claims about the necessity of affirming alternate gender identities to prevent suicide risk are contradicted by the lack of long-term follow-up studies on transgender individuals. The American Psychological Association highlights this gap while attributing it to prejudice, rather than acknowledging that the low prevalence of transgender dysphoria and the recency of treatment methods contribute to it. Furthermore, the sources of suicidal ideation are often misrepresented; depression and anxiety, rather than gender dysphoria itself, are the primary drivers. Without comprehensive long-term studies, the efficacy of medical transition on mental health remains unproven, suggesting a need for more rigorous research and clearer understanding of the issues at play.
