Study after study proves that this is not the case, suicidality increases because there's an expectation (and one that's dangerously encouraged and affirmed) that gender "correction" will alleviate feelings of depression and anxiety that are pre-existing and have nothing to do with gender whatsoever. When gender reassignment is complete and (in the vast majority of cases) only offers temporary relief from the symptoms of depression and anxiety, which then return, the individual is left with zero coping mechanism (as their previous coping mechanism was the strong belief that gender reassignment would be the answer). The suicide risk due to the feeling of hopelessness at this point is MASSIVELY increased.
These are the simple facts of the psychology behind it, they might be inconvenient when pushing a social narrative but it's just the truth. And anyone who cares about the lives of individuals should care only about the truth; not the "mission".
