Analysis of Mortality Among Transgender Individuals
Many of us have been struck by the rapid rise in clinical interest and reported studies on transgender persons
The main clinical indication for gender change medication and or surgery is gender dysphoria.
This means that individuals are afflicted with a syndrome in which they are not happy with their natural gender from birth.
While changing biological gender to the opposite is associated with a modest improvement in gender dysphoria scores, one may wonder if there is a price to pay for such a substantial and relatively permanent intervention for a psychiatric illness?
Jackson et al, recently reported on the outcomes of total of 1951 British transfeminine (male at birth) (mean [SE] age, 36.90 [0.34] years; 1801 White [92.3 percent]) and 1364 transmasculine (female at birth) (mean [SE] age, 29.20 [0.36] years.
The normal control group was matched to 68,165 cisgender men (59 136 White [86.8 percent]) and 68,004 cisgender women (57 762 White [84.9 percent]). Compared with cisgender men, there was an increased risk of overall mortality for transfeminine (MRR, 1.34; 95 percentCI, 1.06-1.68).
Compared with cisgender women, there was an increased risk of overall mortality for transmasculine (MRR, 1.75; 95 percentCI, 1.08-2.83) adults.
The most notable relative risks for those who changed genders was suicide and homicide as shown in the table.
These data suggest that psychiatric and behavioral determinants arising from background gender dysphoria and the transgender process contribute to death at a relatively young age among those who have chosen to change from their original biological gender to the opposite.

I refer to genuine cases, not the wanters and kidders.
Is it a psychiatric illness? Won’t a man with an ‘overload’ of Femininity, and the will to exert effort in that direction truly feel like a woman, and want to take steps to rectify it, and ditto for the women? I guess the white coats don’t entertain such ideas. Perhaps that’s why the ‘scores’ are low?

It is mental illness for so-called “trans” people to want to mutilate their body and sterilize themselves knowing they can never be functioning members of the opposite sex.

I doubt seriously they actually plan that far ahead, it’s all sparkly unicorns and rainbows.
