cited is that it uses a cisgender control group. Transgender individuals pre-transition already have a 2-3X suicide rate compared to their cisgender counterparts. So when those rates are still high post-transition they should be compared to the rates of pre-transition transge

The Swedish study says “sex-reassigned transsexual persons of both genders had approximately a three times higher risk of all-cause mortality than controls”.
If we take as given that the other study 2-3X suicide rate is correct, then doing surgery or chemical sterilization on minors gains nothing in reduced mortality.
My position is simply that we should wait until an individual is mature enough to make their own decisions before other adults make permanent, serious physical changes to them.
The counter to my position would be that if we don’t make the changes when they’re a minor, they may never reach adulthood due to suicide. However, that counterargument does not hold water if mortality is essentially unchanged, which it is.
Btw, I regard cisgender as a slur.
