"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment."

Perhaps because being trans is not well supported and accepted in many societies, even the ones that may have legal protections for trans people (which is, in itself and indicator of a lack of acceptance - there wouldn't be a need for laws protecting housing, for example, if there wasn't discrimination).

Therefore there is a continuing need for mental health support.

What is with the recent uptick in anti-transness on this site?

It's a big study about a very hot topic affecting real lives of people in every profession. Anti-trans or pro-trans, I believe it's important medical information for people to be as informed as possible for themselves and others.
