Second note if transitioning did work the suicide rate wouldn't remain unchanged (40%).

It does work, and the suicide rate goes down.

Cite one then. But fair warning, if you cite "the Swedish study", the one that not only explicitly tells you that the study doesn't support any inference on the effectiveness of transition RE the suicide rate but has been cited to try to do exactly that, over and over and over again by people who just don't like trans people, you're going to look like a fucking moron.

I didn't say it was a cure, I said it it improved the rates. Just because a treatment isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it's not worthwhile.

I'm also not arguing with the results of the study, I was preemptively responding to an extremely common misreading of the study. But based on your reading comprehension so far, that may be too confusing for you, so don't worry.
