I know what it's like to suffer from depression, so I'll say this.

If, as is claimed, transgenderism is a genetic condition whereby a person is born in the wrong body and essentially has the wrong brain in the wrong body, then no issues will arise.
This is because the person, since conception, will always have associated themselves with the gender that they have been reassigned.

However after dementia sets in, if such issues do arise then it points to transgenderism being more of a disorder of some kind than a genetic condition.

This isn't anything against people who suffer these problems, I think they should be helped.
But I think that explanations are attributed to feelings when in fact nobody knows what's going on.

This will be an interesting real world test that nobody can argue with.

A long term Swedish study shows that suicide after gender changing surgery is very high and that the medical procedure does not cure this problem..

Results
The overall mortality for sex-reassigned persons was higher during follow-up (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 1.8–4.3) than for controls of the same birth sex, particularly death from suicide (aHR 19.1; 95% CI 5.8–62.9). Sex-reassigned persons also had an increased risk for suicide attempts (aHR 4.9; 95% CI 2.9–8.5) and psychiatric inpatient care (aHR 2.8; 95% CI 2.0–3.9). Comparisons with controls matched on reassigned sex yielded similar results. Female-to-males, but not male-to-females, had a higher risk for criminal convictions than their respective birth sex controls.

Conclusions
Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population. Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.
