What is the suicide rate for transgender people? I have heard that about 50% attempt suicide within something like three years. If anyone can find a source for this statistic then please ping me.
It’s extremely high.

You are correct.
For people with endocrine issues, gender dysphoria and depression go hand-in-hand. For example, women with post-partum are having adrenal issues (part of the endocrine system). The same system that drives sexual development also controls the chemicals in the brain.
For far too many young people, they are experiencing insulin insufficiency which can lead to depression. Instead of treating the underlying issue or addressing any other source of their depression (mental illness), they are running to the trans bus thinking that changing their gender will change their life. It doesn’t. It makes life worse because they are not actually trans to begin with.
