Original Note:
The study compares 1,500 patients with gender affirming surgery to 15 million people without. It is not comparing anyone before and after they receive surgery. The conclusion, therefore, is not 'surgery increases suicide rates' but instead 'trans people have higher rates' https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38699117/
