Somehow I doubt the NYT includes or mentions gender assignment surgery in this article.

I don't know why your comment is getting downvoted. I have read that depression and suicide rates for transgender people sometimes increase post-operation. I am not sure if that is true. Either way, it's worthy of a fair discussion whereby both sides can present their arguments.

This is basically an article about a meniscus study with some background. Why the hell would that be relevant?

It’s bringing up controversy out of nowhere that’s probably getting that comment the reception it’s getting.

"Why the hell would that be relevant?"

Both subjects relate closely to the efficacy of operations.
