Sweden Study

Assess mortality, morbidity, and crime rates following surgical gender reassignment in transgender individuals.

• People who undergo sex reassignment surgery have a much higher chance of dying, especially by suicide, compared to others of the same birth sex.
• Those who have had sex reassignment surgery are more likely to attempt suicide and need hospital care for mental health issues than the general population.
• Women who transition to men are more likely to commit crimes compared to others of their birth sex.
