Psychiatric Journal Corrects Transgender Study, Now Says There’s ‘No Advantage Of Surgery’ For Mental Health

Who knew?

"A leading psychiatric journal issued a correction last week saying a study which purportedly showed positive mental health effects after gender reassignment surgeries actually found “no advantage of surgery.”

The American Journal of Psychiatry published an October 2019 study titled “Reduction in Mental Health Treatment Utilization Among Transgender Individuals After Gender-Affirming Surgeries: A Total Population Study,” which examined the effects of gender reassignment surgeries on the mental health of individuals who believe they are transgender.

The study used data from Sweden and was conducted by Dr. Richard Branstrom and Dr. John E. Pachankis, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The American Journal of Psychiatry initially touted the study as lending “support to the decision to provide gender-affirming surgeries to those who seek them” in an October 4 tweet."
