I'm not surprised at all which is why under 18 kids should never do choice only trans drugs/surgeries
So-called "gender-affirming surgery" could lead to potentially dangerous mental health effects, a new study has found.
Transgender individuals face "heightened psychological distress," including depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation, "partly due to stigma and lack of gender affirmation," as stated in the study, which was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The study focused on 107,583 patients 18 and over with gender dysphoria, some who underwent surgery and others who did not. ( this was not a study of 150 people, this was a HUGE study)
Males with surgery had depression rates of 25% compared to males without surgery (11.5%). Anxiety rates among that group were 12.8% compared to 2.6%.
The same differences were seen among females, as those with surgery had 22.9% depression rates compared to 14.6% in the non-surgical group. Females who underwent surgery also had anxiety rates of 10.5% compared to 7.1% without surgery.
"In fact, taking a scalpel to treat a psychological disorder can sometimes lead to more issues, as the study results are elucidating."

Trans surgeries increase risk of mental health conditions, suicidal ideations: study
Gender dysphoria patients experienced ‘heightened psychological distress’ two years after surgery
