I read that too. Most people who get the surgery deeply regret it and almost half commit suicide after

Do you have any reputable sources that say "most" trans people regret having surgery or that they commit suicide because of transitioning? Not that they commit suicide after transitioning (there are many who are killed or commit suicide even after transitioning because of society's views and actions against trans individuals as well as other factors such as poverty and homelessness due to being fired/evicted because of being trans). I know there were a few false reports about these stats that have made their way around the Internet in the last year or so (that have been busted) and want to make sure you're not simply misinformed. Medical professionals know what they're doing when they prescribe HRT and RS to some trans individuals. I don't know why armchair psychiatrists and armchair medical doctors online like to think they know better because they read something online that only builds their confirmation bias fallacies.

I'm talking about the surgery not taking hormones and ya, turns out people with extreme mental disorders are prone to suicide. http://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2015/06/07/sex-changes-fixed-nothing-says-regretful-transgender http://www.wsj.com/articles/paul-mchugh-transgender-surgery-isnt-the-solution-1402615120 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043071/

First link is one person's personal journey and their opinion, second link I can't read without subscribing, 3rd link I believe is the one I was talking about above, the debunked myth (I remember it being out of Sweden) but on my phone and no wifi I can't really find that link about it for you. If this thread is still up when I get back to civilization Monday, I'll send it over along with some better links from (gasp) professionals who specialize in helping trans people. In the meantime, I personally know a few dozen trans people, including myself, who have lived much more happily after undergoing surgery.
