<p><em>As we prepare to enter the new year, we&#8217;re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire&#8217;s best reporting from 2024. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-butchers-and-liars-were-murderously-wrong-suicide-risk-skyrockets-following-gender-affirmation-surgery-new-study-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This article</a> was originally published on May 18. </em></p>
<p>A study published earlier this year shows that those who underwent gender surgery had a suicide risk 12 times higher than those who did not, adding more data showing the dangers of the life-altering procedures.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11063965/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> utilized patient data from 56 health care organizations in the U.S. and over 90 million patients. Four different groups of patients were looked at in the study, including 1,501 people aged 18-60 who had “gender-affirming surgery” and an emergency visit (cohort A) and 15,608,363 adults who visited the emergency room but had no “gender-affirming surgery” (cohort B). The third group (cohort C) included 142,093 “adults with emergency visits, tubal ligation or vasectomy, but no gender-affirming surgery,” while a fourth group of patients with pharyngitis (cohort D) was studied “to validate the results from cohort C.”</p>
<p>“Data from February 4, 2003, to February 4, 2023, were analyzed to examine suicide attempts, death, self-harm, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within five years of the index event,” the study said, adding that its results found that “Individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgery had a 12.12-fold higher suicide attempt risk than those who did not.”</p>
<p>The study concluded, “Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks, underlining the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support.”</p>
<p>The study’s findings fly in the face of the argument from those espousing radical gender theory, including the Biden administration, who <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/03/31/fact-sheet-white-house-honors-transgender-day-of-visibility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claim</a> that “gender-affirming care” prevents suicide attempts among those who identify as transgender.</p>
<p>DailyWire+ host Dr. Jordan B. Peterson blasted both President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following the release of the study’s results as both countries have yet to take any action to curb the dangerous effects of gender procedures, especially on children.</p>
<p>“12x the suicide rate post ‘gender affirming’ surgery. The butchers and liars were murderously wrong,” Peterson wrote on X. “The Cass report indicated this. Canada and the US are still enabling this. That’s you @POTUS and @JustinTrudeau and it is utterly barbarous and inexcusable. Putting children to the knife. ‘Follow the science,’ gentlemen.”</p>

<p>The most recent study showing the disturbing increase in suicide risk among those who undergo gender surgery isn’t alone. Dr. Hilary Cass <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/author-of-cass-review-which-criticized-child-transgender-procedures-says-shes-avoiding-public-transportation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released</a> a long-awaited British <a href="https://cass.independent-review.uk/home/publications/final-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> last month that criticized gender procedures for children. Last year, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/landmark-study-shows-suicide-psychiatric-conditions-much-higher-in-transgender-people" target="_blank" rel="noopener">landmark study</a> in Denmark found that trans-identifying people had a suicide death rate 3.5 times higher and a suicide attempt rate 7.7 times higher than people who did not identify as transgender.</p>
<p>Following more data showing the risk of gender surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormonal treatments on children multiple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/europe-dialing-back-shocking-policies-on-transgender-kids-and-medical-intervention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">European countries</a> began dialing back their policies that approved the life-altering procedures for minors. Numerous Republican-led states have also outlawed gender procedures for children, but no action has been taken at the federal level to stop the dangerous procedures.</p>
