It's not just about looks for everyone I know who has had it done. Sure, superficially we see any plastic surgery as being "about looks" but for most people getting it done it is more about making their body represent their idea of what they should look like. An outward representation of their inner self. That is the same thing.

So much of what we do is gender affirming. Deciding to shave or not, how we dress, how we get our hair cut, all of these things are ways we express our gender every day. Some people use surgical methods and it isn't always a trans person doing so.

And even if you think it's still as accepted as it should be, it's accepted more than it has been in the past, so why's there such an epidemic in suicide among transgender people?

Is there an increase in people who identify as transgender or is there an increase in the awareness of it?

Is it accepted more than it has been in the past? Maybe in our culture, but not in comparison to some others around the world throughout history. Also, there are more external societal pressures on people today than ever before thanks to social media and the internet as a whole. People are much more likely to be bullied because there is more access to them.
