Studies say some mental health problems are reduced in trans people after the transition. However, the more critical concern is that the current “affirming model” no longer requires mental health assessments on puberty blockers, hormones and surgery. So, people who aren’t trans are mistaking non-gender dysphoric issues, such as sexual abuse, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, internalized homophobia, anxiety, etc., for gender dysphoria or have been convinced by doctors, affirming therapists and the trans community that their issues will go away if they transition.
This results in people, particularly young cis-females, being funnelled into the same treatments as truly trans people with disastrous results (for example, permanently deepened voices, MPB, increased body hair, masculinized bodies, etc. and flat chests if they had “top surgery”).
