The gender cult ship be sinking: California study (from 2021) reveals suicide rates go UP with trans surgeries

One of the most grotesque and horrific lies that comes along with the gender ideology cult is one that doctors tell to parents of so-called trans kids. We've all heard it and it is sickening:

'Would you rather have a live son or a dead daughter?'

The doctors advocating sterilizing hormones and mutilating surgeries for CHILDREN actually have used the threat of suicide to convince parents to go along with the insanity. These are physicians -- people who are supposed to be HELPING their patients (as we're pretty sure they swore an oath to that effect).

Of course, the doctors always cite 'data' from places like WPATH. But as journalist Michael Shellenberger recently revealed in his explosive 'WPATH Files,' all of WPATH's 'guidance' is completely made up, if not a deliberate lie.

Now, a study out of California has revealed that the suicide lie doctors have been telling parents for years is even more despicable than we could have imagined. It turns out that not only does 'gender surgery' NOT reduce the risk of suicide, but it actually more than DOUBLES it in cases where men have vaginoplasties to try to convince themselves that they are women.

California study: Attempted-suicide rate among men who had gender surgery was "twice as high" as it was before operation 👀https://t.co/pqyICRUgvNhttps://t.co/pqyICRUgvN

More from Not The Bee:

Study finds that the attempted-suicide rate among transgender women [men] who received a vaginoplasty in California was twice as high during the period after the surgery compared with the period before the surgery.

The investigators analyzed data on all 868 people who received a vaginoplasty and 357 people who received a phalloplasty in California from 2012-2018. There were an average of 2 years of data before and after surgery.

Among those receiving a vaginoplasty, the rate of suicide attempts was twice as high after the surgery, at 3.3%, compared with before, at 1.5%.

The conclusion of the study is as follows:

Rates of psychiatric emergencies are high both before and after gender affirming surgery. Although both the phalloplasty and vaginoplasty patients have similar overall rates of psychiatric encounters, suicide attempts are more common in the later. In fact, our observed rate of suicide attempts in the phalloplasty group is actually similar to the general population, while the vaginoplasty group's rate is more than double that of the general population.

Here's the real kicker: this isn't even a new study. This was from 2021, which means that many people have KNOWN these facts for years, but still try to propagate the lie.

NB: Study is from 2021. That doesn’t change anything. This is very valuable info for anyone involved in legal battles, etc.

The left uses the threat of suicides like a cudgel to silence opposition and to push irreversible damage on kids.

Another point to note is that even though women who have phalloplasties to try to become men didn't see suicide rates increase, they did not decrease at all either, which is inherent in the suicide threat that doctors have used.

Imagine that… Removing a mentally ill man’s fully functioning penis and replacing it with an unnatural gaping monstrosity of a wound increases suicidal ideations by 100%. https://t.co/QXwCHbcUbA

Of course, anyone who thinks logically about this is not at all surprised. People fighting against gender ideology -- like Billboard Chris, Matt Walsh, and detransitioners like Chloe Cole -- have been saying it for years. But the medical industry has always fallen back on credentialism: 'This is what the experts say.'

Well, now we know that the 'experts' were -- and are -- completely full of crap.

We're happy to see that Elon Musk has full-throatedly joined 'Team Sanity.' He has become more and more vocal in his opposition to 'gender-affirming care,' especially recently.

Having your penis cut off with a scalpel can be psychologically traumatic. https://t.co/M5Vq4DNHOg

— Wilfred Reilly (@wil_da_beast630) March 12, 2024

See how obvious it sounds when put into basic terms like that? OF COURSE, it is psychologically traumatic. The gender ideology advocates can be very persuasive, especially to young, impressionable minds. But no amount of indoctrination can trick someone's body into believing that chopping off genitals is 'healthy' or 'affirming.' Hundreds of thousands of years of evolution are still stronger than the cult.

Not particularly surprising that when the realization sets in that the irreversible surgical mutilation did not achieve some magical transformation, that severe depression would result. The inevitable outcome of encouraging a mentally ill person’s delusions. https://t.co/rJW88xlvXE

There is nothing 'affirming' about convincing someone they are in the wrong body. What is actually affirming is helping them to understand that they are perfect the way they are. And helping them through any confusion about that.

But we can see that the cult members are still fighting against reality.

Rather than focusing solely on the negative aspects, we should celebrate the bravery and resilience of transgender individuals who pursue gender-affirming surgeries despite facing societal stigma and discrimination.

Focus solely on the negative aspects? Do you mean like DOUBLING the risk of suicide? No, we think we'll keep focusing on that, thank you very much. And the problem with 'transing' kids is not that there is a 'stigma' associated with it. It's that it's ENCOURAGED. That is why it is a social contagion in the 2020s.

Exactly. It is the 'in' thing to do. And that is just so wrong and destructive, it's difficult to imagine how we got here.

A study containing every person from 2012-2018 in California that had their genitals mutilated, finds that genital mutilation will in fact, make you wanna off yourself. Who could've seen this coming? https://t.co/g5Ry5dbGwq

— Vex Electronica 🇨🇦🇺🇲 (@VexElectronica) March 12, 2024

Many people saw it coming. And they were denounced as 'transphobes.' (Even Cole, if you can imagine that.)

I would hope that they would instead direct their anger towards the medical professionals that butchered them. Hire a good attorney and take them for every cent they have. https://t.co/zBYeLIYy12

— WinstonSmith (@BackporchBobcat) March 12, 2024

That is exactly what Cole is doing. Because doctors lied to her. When she was a minor teenager and at her most vulnerable. And more people need to follow suit.

Lawyers everywhere are sharpening their pencils… https://t.co/AArNG1dtiI

Weren't we reliably told by Admiral Levine that gender affirming care was to decrease the suicide rates?? https://t.co/HICvWKJNyV

— Dangerous Thoughts (@dangerousthinkg) March 12, 2024

Richard 'Rachel' Levine is one of the worst. He advocates for these surgeries for young people, but we can't help but notice he never had the surgery himself. Maybe now we know why.

So they knew and still have been pushing this? Criminal. https://t.co/tU1R9eBTdo

— JR (@_no_more_fear_) March 12, 2024

Yes, it is criminal. And the way to stop it is through more lawsuits and criminal investigations. Followed by prosecutions.

They don't have 'the science' on their side. Between studies like this one and the WPATH Files, now everyone knows it. It's time to end the destructive cult.

I saw a law firm's commercial about suing Ozempic for medical problems. I assume trans activists think they can cancel law firms that begin advertising to sue Dr Frankensteins for genital amputations.

[Rocky Mountain Wild Turkey]

Will there be Nuremberg-type trials to prosecute those who have been responsible for all the lies, suffering, and/or death?

If not ... we have learned nothing.

And, it could happen again, sooner rather than later.

[Shadow44]

You mean castrating someone and putting them in a position of chronic pain for the rest of their lives increases the risk of suicide?

If only we could have known this was a bad idea!

[hinckley buzzard]

Late to the party, the American Psychological Association just recently issued a statement supporting all “gender-affirming care” for children as well as adults. Including surgery and chemical castration. Most doctors doing these atrocities require a go-ahead from a psychologist as a way of covering their asses in case it all goes sideways. Those psychologists doing this “counseling” and giving the ok, may well expect to become defendants in malpractice cases beginning fairly soon. As well they should.

[BobL]

Fake News - I DISTINCTLY heard my Public School Administrators telling us parents that the ONLY WAY to prevent suicide in little boys was to cut their dicks off. And since the people who administer and teach in the public schools in my small town are the Salt of the Earth (I even met one shopping at Walmart, once!), that must be the truth.

(besides, my kids aren’t worth the cost to me of private schools or home schooling as I have FAR BETTER things to do with my money)

[hinckley buzzard]

Oh yes and the APA Council of Representatives voted this in, 153-9. I suspect the AMA and others will have made the same tragic error. And hopefully will pay the full price.

The only reason why the trans-gender kids are killing themselves is because they are being bullied. Luckily Biden gave a speech about it and will fix the problem with new and stronger “hate speech” laws.

[EnderWiggin1970]

This is the lie that was sold to my wife’s family ~15 years ago after my sister-in-law married a guy who was hiding gender dysphoria. They were all convinced that if they didn’t go along with it and be supportive of his delusion that he’d go kill himself. As if mutilating himself was a solution that would cure him and make him feel better.

Benjamin Ryan is a health & science reporter, and contributor at The New York Times, NBC News, and The Guardian, so I'll quote him here:

Study finds that the attempted-suicide rate among transgender women [men] who received a vaginoplasty in California was twice as high during the period after the surgery compared with the period before the surgery.

The investigators analyzed data on all 868 people who received a vaginoplasty and 357 people who received a phalloplasty in California from 2012-2018. There were an average of 2 years of data before and after surgery.

A total of 22% of the vaginoplasty group and 21% of the phalloplasty group had at least one ER or in-patient psych encounter during the study period, whether before or after surgery.

If there was a psych encounter prior to surgery, 34% of the vaginoplasty group and 27% of the phalloplasty group had a psych encounter after surgery.

Among those receiving a vaginoplasty, the rate of suicide attempts was twice as high after the surgery, at 3.3%, compared with before, at 1.5%.

The phalloplasty suicide-attempt rate was similar to the general population, while the vaginoplasty group's rate was more than twice as high as the general population. Also:
