Contemplate puberty suppression, cross sex hormones, and reassignment surgeries in light of the fact that low testosterone levels in males are correlated with depression. So we might wonder whether these "therapies" really amount to "jumping from the frying pan into the fire".
The same thing holds for women whose estrogen is suppressed; depression is often a result. This might explain why study after study does not show significant mental health benefits to transgender therapies, and we might ask as well whether the analysis is being done on a one sided basis, where we would look only for signs that there is an improvement, or whether it is done on a two sided basis, where we would ask whether the therapies could even make things worse.
Or, really, whether we might see statistical "tails" on both sides. Really, it's yet another place where the current mania towards "all or nothing" thinking may be doing immeasurable harm to those with gender dysphoria.
