Gender dysphoric teenagers face elevated risks of suicide and psychological distress, and the available evidence indicates that access to gender-affirming care helps ameliorate these risks.

Multiple retrieved papers consistently identify gender dysphoria as a risk factor for suicidality in youth and support the conclusion that allowing transition via gender-affirming care mitigates these mental health risks. There are no papers in the provided set that refute the claim.
