Transgender surgery makes people feel lonelier and more socially isolated, according to a German researcher who profits from the practice.

People identifying as transgender who undergo so-called “gender affirming” surgery are lonelier than those who have not undergone such procedures, according to a study released late last month in the peer-reviewed scientific journal BMC Public Health.

The politically incorrect finding was not made by critics of transgender ideology but rather by the head of a facility that profits from the controversial medical procedures — and just in time for “pride month”.

The First Study of Its Kind

The team of German researchers included Dr. Marco Blessmann, Chair of the Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, since the department’s creation in 2014. Dr. Blessmann’s facility carries out “labiaplasty”, “breast augmentation” as and “other surgical services” under the transgender umbrella.

Titled “Loneliness and Social Isolation among Transgender and Gender Diverse People,” the study analysed data from 104 patients who had passed through Dr. Blessmann’s department.

“In our study, the level of life satisfaction in transgender people was not increased in transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery as compared to those who were unoperated,” the study declared.

“Additionally,” the researchers wrote, “our data indicate that transgender and gender diverse people, who have undergone gender reassignment surgery feel lonelier. To our knowledge, this is the first study analyzing the levels of loneliness and social isolation in operated transgender and gender diverse people.”

The same observation was made by the same team of researchers in a seperate study published a month earlier in the Basel-based journal Healthcare.

Correcting the Lies of Transgender Ideology

The team identified higher levels of education strongly correlated with better mental health outcomes for transgender-identifying people, while unemployment and poor health were linked to higher levels of loneliness and social isolation.

Overall, people who identify as transgender have lower overall life satisfaction than the general population, according to the study, being 1,290 per cent more likely to describe themselves as “extremely dissatisfied” than “extremely satisfied” with their lives.

As pointed out by The Washington Stand (TWS), the finding comes at a time when internet searches for terms like “am I gay” and “am I trans” have increased 1,300 per cent over the last two decades.

The discovery also puts to lie the reassurances of transgender “experts”, who often seek to win over reluctant parents with manipulative phrases like, “It’s better to have a living son than a dead daughter.”

A Better Approach Than Surgery

In TWS’s coverage of the new German study, a better approach was offered for people suffering from gender dysphoria:

“The only way individuals dealing with gender dysphoria will come to live happy, healthy, and authentic lives is by addressing the source of their dysphoria and pursuing healing,” Waddell told TWS. “Many of the individuals who identify as transgender do so because of trauma, abuse, adverse childhood experiences (which may or may not be traumatic), and other such reasons. Until these root issues are properly dealt with, these individuals will not be completely satisfied.”

Transgender-identified adolescents were more than twice as likely as to report childhood sexual abuse, 161% more likely to endure physical abuse, and 184% more likely to experience psychological abuse than their peers, according to researchers from the University of Pittsburgh. “Transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit disproportionate levels of mental health problems compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs),” reported their 2021 study, published in the journal Pediatrics. “[R]esearchers should examine how more frequent experiences of abuse during childhood could contribute to disproportionate mental health problems observed within this population.”

The evidence shows the best thing parents can do for children questioning their biological identity is to prevent them from having permanently disfiguring surgeries or potentially sterilizing hormone injections. “Even the American Psychiatric Association, which supports gender identity ideology, acknowledges that a high percentage of children will desist from feelings of dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty naturally. This is why we need to pass legislation like the Protecting Children from Experimentation Act of 2023 and the End Taxpayer Funding of Gender Experimentation Act of 2023,” Waddell told TWS.

“Allowing children to go through the natural transitions of youth without interference allows them to come into their own and make wiser decisions about their future.”
