Få fakta · Självmordsmyten
Hotet om självmord är den främsta taktiken som aktivistläkare, politiker och medicinska organ har använt i åratal för att köpa stöd för medicinsk omställning av barn.
Föräldrar får till och med höra att de kan ha en död dotter eller en levande son. Det är tvingande manipulation och en avskyvärd lögn.
Fakta är klara. Fullbordat självmord är tack och lov sällsynt, och pediatrisk medicinsk omställning har inte visats förebygga självmord.
Läs diagrammet, inte en vägg av länkar. Ungdomsstudier är inte vuxenstudier. En enkät om självmordsförsök är inte en räkning av självmordsdödsfall.
News — Supreme Court exchange
In U.S. v. Skrmetti oral argument (Dec 4, 2024), ACLU attorney Chase Strangio told Justice Alito there is no evidence in the studies that gender-affirming treatment reduces completed suicide, and that completed suicide is “thankfully and admittedly” rare — while distinguishing that from “suicidality.”
Självmordsrelaterade fynd från Biggs (2022), Van Cauwenberg (2021), Ruuska (2024), Do No Harm, Cass, HHS och Dhejne 2011
Studie
Tavistock GIDS referrals, 2010–2020.
Fynd
Among ~15,032 youth referred to Tavistock GIDS (2010–2020), 4 suicides — completed suicide rare in absolute terms (HHS Table 4.1: 0.03%, 0.13 per 1K patient-years).
Studie
Belgian pediatric gender clinic cohort.
Fynd
Belgian pediatric gender clinic cohort; 5 suicides among referred youths (HHS Table 4.1: 3.38%, 11.26 per 1K patient-years); HHS notes all suicides among patients taking cross-sex hormones.
Studie
Youth and young adults under 23 referred to Finnish gender services, 1996–2019: 2,083 people vs 16,643 matched controls.
Fynd
Suicide deaths were uncommon (0.3% vs 0.1% in matched peers) and, once specialist psychiatric treatment was accounted for, not statistically different; medical gender reassignment was not shown to change suicide risk.
Studie
New — 17 September 2026
CDC teen suicide rates after state bans on puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors. Jay Greene, Ph.D. and Ian Kingsbury, Ph.D. for Do No Harm. Three models: difference-in-differences, Callaway–Sant’Anna DiD, and a national time-series.
Fynd
Do No Harm analyzed CDC teen suicide rates after state bans on puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors. Across three models (difference-in-differences, Callaway–Sant’Anna DiD, and a national time-series), there was no statistically significant increase in teen suicide rates. The claim that these bans cause a spike in teen suicides is not supported by the data.
Studie
Independent review of NHS gender identity services for children and young people, underpinned by University of York systematic reviews.
Fynd
The evidence does not support the claim that hormone treatment reduces the elevated risk of death by suicide in this population.
Studie
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services review of treatment for pediatric gender dysphoria. The suicide points on this chart are from that review.
Fynd
There is no evidence that pediatric medical transition reduces suicide deaths, which remain very low; completed suicide among adolescents with gender dysphoria is rare, and suicidality tracks with other mental-health conditions rather than with gender dysphoria alone.
Studie
Adults. All 324 people in Sweden who had sex-reassignment surgery, 1973–2003, compared with matched population controls.
Fynd
After sex reassignment / surgical transition, suicide deaths were about 19.1 times higher than among matched peers (adjusted hazard ratio 19.1). Transition did not bring suicide mortality in line with the general population — the elevated suicide risk remained after transition.
Den gamla GIDS-webbsidan “Evidence base” är borta, så den är inte en källa här. Den officiella brittiska uppföljningen är Appleby-rapporten från 2024 om självmord vid Tavistock / GIDS: uppgifterna stöder inte en stor ökning efter att pubertetsblockerare begränsades.
