The report itself doesn't advocate for or against SRS specifically; it simply says that there's no evidence that having an op solves any of their problems. The report does say that special attention should be given to post-op transsexuals, but presumably that's because their suicide rate is so high, not because the report is coming out in favour of the operations.

Actually, the study says "This study design sheds new light on transsexual persons' health after sex reassignment. It does not, however, address whether sex reassignment is an effective treatment or not." Which is to say, the study doesn't find any evidence about the efficacy of SRS, because that's not what the study was trying to determine. So they didn't actually collect any evidence about the efficacy of SRS.

Which is completely obvious once you look at the control population.
