>It feels to me these complications and botched procedures are a huge part of the suicide motives
It mostly comes from failure to be accepted by friends, family, and co-workers. If someone's family is supportive of a transition then they're much less likely to sudoku.
As far as procedures they're all reasonably safe from complications, with the possible exception of the actual PP chop which gives me the willies. I'm not super fond of mine but the surgery and recovery looks not worth it imo.

>Emotions are in play here and can sway your decision making, no matter how informed you are.
Of course they are. Emotions are part of your decision making process as a human being. They shouldn't rule your life, but trying to LARP Spock and live life as a cold emotionless logic machine is not really living, and often leads to suboptimal decisions.
