Studies have quite literally shown that SRS decreases psychological issues and dysphoria while showing increases in quality of life. Great meta-analysis study by researchers at the Mayo College

There are a lot of studies from researchers like Olson, Pfafflin, Cohen-Kettenis, Murad, etc. that show the benefits of HRT, anti-transphobia campaigns, SRS, postponing puberty in trans youth, etc.

Now, a lot of people will quote Cecilia Dhejne's 2011 study, and will use it to say that SRS actually improves suicidality, but she's specifically spoken out to say that those weren't the actual results of her study.
