I disagree, I think trannies kill themselves because they realize 20 years down the road theyll never be the gender theyd like to be, even after the surgeries and horomones (which are bad for you)
Being trans is a mental illness and those people should get the mental help they need, I think that most are convinced into it and if not they just never got comfortable with their bodies (explaining why the cis females dont like their breasts) and they would rather chase an image in their head of what theyd like to be.
Because of lobbying doctors no long suggest therapy but rather the $50,000 surgery, why you may ask? because money. They make more that way.
This is not a position you are taking based on evidence. Medical professionals don't get to recommend treatments based on what makes them more money without opening themselves up to massive liability lawsuits. This is why we have standard of care that doctors have to follow. The doctor recommending surgery is almost never the doctor actually performing the surgery, so your assessment that doctors are recommending surgery for money is not well founded.
You don't seem malicious, like some posters, so I think you should do some more reading on the subject. The history of trans people is genuinely interesting and has been actively repressed. What treatment trans people get is between them and their doctors, and the bulk of evidence that doctors have to follow says that the best outcomes for trans people is from hormone replacement and possibly surgery.
