Researchers who conducted the world's largest study of patients who have undergone sex-reassignment announced last year to much fanfare their conclusion that the surgery reduced the need for mental health treatment.
But over the weekend, the editors of the American Journal of Psychiatry and the authors of the October 2019 paper issued a startling correction, wrote Ryan T. Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
After a barrage of criticism of their study, the researches now find "the results demonstrated no advantage of surgery in relation to subsequent mood or anxiety disorder-related health care."
