Nearly 50% of LGBT teens considered suicide last year - with nearly one-fifth of transgender men attempting to end their lives, shocking survey finds
daily mail ^

More than one in 10 young people who identify as LGBTQ attempted suicide in 2023, a survey from suicide prevention organization Trevor Project has found.

The survey, which focuses on the mental health of LGBTQ youth, was circulated to 18,000 people from ages 13 to 24.

Nearly 40 percent of LGBTQ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, while 46 percent of transgender and nonbinary young people between the ages of 13 and 17 had similar ideations.

Transgender men were the most at risk, with more than 50 percent of them reporting considering suicide and 18 percent of them attempting it.

Among LGBTQ teens aged 13 to 17, a total of 16 percent attempted suicide. This is higher than the average among all LGBTQ youths, which sits at 12 percent.

Even more troubling, half of those surveyed reported not being able to get mental health care when they needed it.

When broken down further, suicidal ideation vastly differs among different groups in the LGBTQ community.

Those identifying as pansexual had both the highest rate of considering suicide and attempting it, with gay, lesbian, bisexual and queer people reporting relatively similar rates of attempting suicide.

Across racial groups, Native American LGBTQ youth were by far and away the most likely to consider or attempt suicide, according to the survey.

The Trevor Project said that 'anti-LGBTQ+ victimization' was the main factor in young people's increased likelihood for suicide, something the organization has found in its previous surveys.

'Once again, this year's survey shows that considering or attempting suicide is not uncommon among LGBTQ+ young people,' said Dr. Ronita Nath, the Vice President of Research at the Trevor Project. 'However, many of the contributing risk factors for suicide are preventable, and often rooted in victimizing behaviors of others.'

In Austin, TX, many display “BLM” signs. I don’t think I’ve seen a Republican sign there in years.

Oh, in my state, you see them all, but...it is the bluest of the blue states. But we do have some conservatives here.

But the signs.

It goes on and on and on. But this is, for personal reasons, where I am. Sure makes me force myself to remember how important freedom of speech is. Good thing to keep in mind.

The “men” are embarrassed by what they see in the mirror but they can’t admit their error and won’t seek help. Pray for them.

Some study found the high suicide rate of gender confused people was untrue, unless they had had trans mutilation surgery. I presume it’s a lie about homosexuals, also. They’re just attempting to climb the victimization ladder.

That one absolutely grates on me in this upside down absurd world. Advertising proudly child abuse.

This has NOTHING to do with those poor children who are born with ambiguous sex, who may have a mix of physical sexual characteristics. This children NEED surgical and therapy help. I specifically say this, because every time you have this conversation with people who are all in on transsexualism, they ALWAYS seem to bring this up, and it has NO bearing on those hermaphroditic children.


There also appear to be only somewhere between 5-8k of them in the US, almost all of whom are sterile. And no, many of them do not need surgical help either beyond plausibly the effects of directing them towards one or the other at birth.

Exactly. It is a very small amount. I do find it telling that they bring that up EVERY time, even KNOWING it is a very small amount. That is typical.

Mr. Darwin may have an explanation for this phenomena.
