It compares those who had gender-reassignment to the healthy population. To make the claim you want it to make it would need to look at transgendered people who were able to transition and transgendered people who could not.
And you don't need to take my word for it. Take the study itself:

This would be closer to the study you want White Out 403:

This study demonstrates an association between gender-affirming surgery and improved mental health outcomes. These results contribute new evidence to support the provision of gender-affirming surgical care for TGD people.

Now you can probably delve deeper into each individual. Like perhaps a person who transgendered did so because their family accepted them and they were able to be open about it. Perhaps an individual who did not transition could not because of financial constraints and those financial constraints added to their mental health issues.
But the study ultimate concludes that, for whatever reason, 44% reduction of past-year suicidal ideation:

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.
This study also found that people who received all of the gender-affirming surgeries they desired had significant reductions in the odds of every adverse mental health outcome examined, including past-year suicide attempts and past-month binge alcohol use. Furthermore, compared to people who only received some of the gender-affirming surgeries they desired, people who received all of their desired surgeries experienced even more profound mental health benefits across every outcome.
