Elon Musk has reacted to a new study from the University of Texas, which analyzes the mental health effects of gender reassignment surgery. The research, which examined over 100,000 patients, suggests that individuals who underwent gender-affirming surgeries experience significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use compared to those who did not.
The findings have sparked debate, as the study challenges some of the prevailing justifications for gender reassignment procedures. The research involved both male and female patients and highlights concerns about the mental well-being of those who have undergone these surgeries.
In response to the study, Musk tweeted, “Sex change surgery severely harms mental health,” drawing attention to the potential long-term psychological effects that the procedure may have on patients.
While the study has garnered significant attention, the views expressed do not necessarily reflect a consensus in the medical community, and further research and discussion are expected as the topic continues to evolve.
