Twitter owner Elon Musk cited a study on transgender health outcomes as he joined in a debate on the platform.
While we cannot conclude without further analysis why the 15-year period in which reassignment surgeries were performed led to these statistical differences, the study notes that it might be explained"by improved health care for transsexual persons during 1990s, along with altered societal attitudes towards persons with different gender expressions."
It is just one example of the types of changes to attitudes and care that might affect access to and willingness to seek health care, support and treatment, and could have influenced the results here. Had a greater number of individuals felt compelled or comfortable to seek surgery during the time period from which data was collected, it might have provided more representative results of what the actual risks of mental illness and suicide were among the wider transgender population.
