>A major new study out of Finland found that providing cross-sex hormones and gender-transition surgeries to adolescents and young adults didn’t appear to have any significant effect on suicide deaths.

>What’s more, gender distress severe enough to send young people to a gender clinic wasn’t independently linked to a higher suicide death rate either.

>Since then, multiple teams of researchers have systematically reviewed the available studies about gender-transition medicine for kids.

>They all found the science subpar and uncertain.

>For her new study, Dr. Kaltiala’s team relied on Finland’s nationalized health records.

>They examined records on all 2,083 people who had their first visit to either of the nation’s two gender clinics at age 22 or younger—at 18 on average and as young as eight—from 1996 to 2019.

>These researchers put together a comparison group of nearly 17,000 Finns. This included eight people for each gender-distressed person, matched to their age and birthplace.

>The findings that neither going to a gender clinic nor undergoing gender-transition treatment was tied to an independent significant difference in the suicide rate built on a 2023 study by Dr. Kaltiala.

>That paper showed that after people received gender-transition treatment, they didn’t then see psychiatric specialists any less often.

>This suggested that the treatment didn’t improve their mental health.
