Actually, quite the contrary.
BOSTON, April 28, 2021—A new study published today in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery is associated with improved mental health outcomes

A new study published today in JAMA Surgery found that gender-affirming surgery is associated with improved mental health outcomes among transgender people. The study was authored by researchers at Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, The Fenway Institute at Fenway Health, and the Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital. It is the first large-scale, controlled study to demonstrate an association between gender-affirming surgery and improved mental health outcomes and adds important new knowledge to the field as there is little high-quality evidence regarding the mental health effects of gender-affirming surgery.
The study, titled “Association Between Gender-Affirming Surgeries and Mental Health Outcomes,” compared the psychological distress, substance use, and suicide risk of 3,559 transgender people who had undergone gender-affirming surgery with those of 16,401 transgender people who desired gender-affirming surgery but had not yet undergone any. It found that transgender people who had received one or more gender-affirming surgical procedures had a 42% reduction in the odds of experiencing past-month psychological distress, a 35% reduction in the odds of past-year tobacco smoking, and a 44% reduction in the odds of past-year suicidal ideation.
So if you were really concerned about trans kids killing themselves, you'd make gender confirmation surgery more available, not less.
Not really. Hey, guy, I went to Catholic Schools for 12 years. Two of the priests from my parish were accused of pedophilia, and the Church settled with the families. At the high school I went to, the junior football coach invited players to his home to watch gay porn, and this went on for YEARS before anyone did anything about it. (That guy always gave me the creeps. Now I know why.)
Now, a couple of points.
Most child sexual abuse is at the hands of a relative, not a teacher.
Yes, pedophiles will try to get into situations where they have access to children, which is why schools WILL be a problem. But while schools have extensive systems to weed these people out, churches like the Catholics and Mormons have systems to protect the abusers.
