Sex Change and Depression

Abstract
January 05, 2026
The author Abigail Shrier maintains that sex change has pressured young women to obtain sex change surgery. It is a sociological
craze. They may obtain the operation and then feel regret. The patient cannot return to becoming a female if she wants it. The
predators are the medical and educational system.
Introduction
Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage, The Transgender Craze Seducing
Our Daughters” was published and released to the public in 2020
[1]. After this number of years what has been the outcome?
She received considerable praise from conservatives [2]. It
would appear to this author that the most important statement is
the one should be cautious. A valid approach is to ask how young
was the girl when she wanted a penis [3]?
Description
Sex change and depression appear to be related if the young
girl at 3 years old or older wants the change. Thus, the depression
arises when the girl on the outside really wants to be the other sex
[4].
Shrier is a Wall Street journalist and raises medical issues that
originate from her. Other medical professionals on balance do not
appear to agree [5].
However, there are females that do search for surgery and are not
depressed. The penis is easier to maintain than the vagina. Females
have to deal with menstruation, discharge of vaginal bacteria liquid
and related. Further, their lives do not appear to be interrupted
from bi and heterosexual contact. They can masturbate and feel
relief after the surgery and the necessary psycho-biochemicals [6].
If the female wants a child, she must do so before the sex
change. One can now see females with a penis on the internet [7].
What demands more research is can a female who has regret have
surgery to return to being a female? The author indicates that
the sex change is not reversible It appears that depressed young
females rarely ask for the return to their outward appearance and
have a vagina. Perhaps this reviewer has missed this answer. (See
addendum)
Discussion
For those who have depression, it does not necessarily come
from wanting to be the other sex. There are numerous antagonistic
stimuli within and outside the female that can cause troubled
feelings [8].
The depression may also be relieved by anti-depressants and
anti-anxiety meds. This is not an issue that can be easily diagnosed
without the necessary medical, social, and psychological reviews.
The judgment should not be rushed [9].
Conclusion
It has now been at least 5 years and the surgeries continue or
become more mainstream. The cost of children and the additional

work to support one’s self should support transgenderism. Thus,
young females who have the abundance of research are not
depressed rather because of they prefer the ease of the use of a
penis. Thus, a small subset are depressed because of the sex of the
biological stimuli. Further, can one go back to their original outward
appearance and the use of the vagina? No (see addendum). THE
STRICTER THE LAWS ON SEX CHANGE THE MORE LIKELY THE
SUICIDES.
Again, the greater the punishment the more likely the suicides
increase. What might happen if a scenario includes a Liberal
outcome. Young women get appreciable gender care help. She has
the backing of the family and the school. The American Medical
Association, The American Psychological Association. and the
American Association of Social workers support sex if the surgery
is carefully conducted. Surgeries are now left out of the news. 2)
We continue on with the conflict. America is divided once again
over another issue. The division is perhaps similar as the abortion
issue is now. It is now outlawed. However, it was legal for a number
of years. Thus, there is a division. Polls indicate that abortion is

Young daughters are incarcerated.
