JAMA Study: Transgender People are 770% More Likely to Attempt Suicide, with a 600% Higher Rate of Mental Illness

As published yesterday in JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association

According to recent research, transgender people are significantly more likely to commit suicide than their peers.

Using Denmark's centralized data repository, the new study discovered that the rate at which transgender people attempted suicide is 770% higher than non-transgender people. Transgender people also actually died as a result of the suicide attempts at a 350% higher level than non-transgender persons.

Dr. Morten Frisch, a sexual health epidemiologist at the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen and co-author of the study, told The New York Times, “This is beyond doubt a huge problem that needs to be looked at,” Suicide word cloud

Tomislav

His team identified nearly 3,800 transgender individuals in Denmark using hospital records and applications for legal gender changes in order to investigate the issue. between the years 1980 and 2021. The actual rates of death and suicide are most probably much higher. The United States and Denmark have comparable suicide rates, so the findings may also apply to the United States, as noted by the researchers.

"These surveys tend to include much broader swaths of trans individuals, and we cannot be as certain that our results are equally problematic for the broader group," said Frisch.

In other countries, such as the United States, where transgender people and others have been targeted by laws restricting bathroom access, gender-related medical care, and drag performances, the findings may indicate an even higher risk of suicide among LGBTQ individuals. The Times quoted Ann Haas, an emeritus professor at the City University of New York who has studied suicide risk among LGBTQ persons for two decades, as saying, "This offers a stark rebuttal to some of those political arguments suggesting that suicide risk in these groups is exaggerated."

The Danish study also found that there was a 600% higher rate of mental illness amongst transgender individuals compared to non-transgender individuals.

“Trans people face widespread poverty, widespread discrimination, they’re more likely to experience homelessness, they’re overrepresented in our nation’s prison system, our nation’s foster care system,” Gillian Branstetter, the communications strategist at the American Civil Liberties Union focusing on transgender rights, stated to the Times. “That material lack has very real consequences on their lives, up to and including early deaths.”

The findings appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 27.

It is. An induced mental illness. This is s psychological problem created by the left to destroy the family and create conflict and deconstruct this country. This was created in Faculty lounges (And probably restrooms) and Gay bathrooms and left-mode Cause groups like SSD (which practiced cult like group pan sex orgies) and Fake research by "Doctors" (Alfred Kinsey) and inflicted on the US by Marxist Teachers unions.

(I would argue it was not shattered, it just went "underground" and scattered to the Lounges and the Democrat party.)

That’s because this behavior is symptom of other mental illness, not a cause of them, PERIOD.

The belief you can treat this issue in any way successfully, by only focusing on it is ludicrous on its face.

There is no study that exists ANYWHERE, that show “gender affirming care” improves outcomes of these patients.

They have serious mental issues, and this desire to pretend you are something you are not, is a SYMPTOM of those other issues, not a CAUSE of those other issues.

The idiotic narrative, that if you just pander to this symptom, that all those other problems will go away is ludicrous on its face, but that’s exactly what the accepted “narrative” is.. though there is NOT ONE OUNCE OF SCIENCE TO BACK THAT UP.

“Gender Affirming Care” is a fraud, and those that practice it are quacks.

No, what they have been receiving is not counseling but cajoling into believing they need gender reassignment surgery. That they will never grow out of the dysphoria. That surgery is the only route to happiness.

In other words, they are being lied to.

Wait, people that think they are the opposite sex might tend to be mentally ill? Who knew?

Story is an opportunity to educate people about some of the real causes of degenerate moral rot. One example of someone who challenged Kinsey.

See link post above:

Kinsey, Sex, and Fraud

snip..."In 1990, a lady named Judith Reisman spearheaded the anti-Kinsey campaign. In her book titled “Kinsey, Sex, and Fraud”, Reisman called Kinsey a charlatan, whose research work engendered an array of social afflictions plaguing the United States.

Reisman argued that the rising number of divorce, abortion, sexual promiscuity, sexually transmitted diseases, illegitimate births, cohabitation, pornography, homosexuality, sadomasochism, rape, child molestation, sexual crimes of all types, family breakup, endemic violence, etc. could all be attributed to the findings of the scandalous research undertaken by Kinsey. The author said Kinsey’s deductions cannot be described as normal sexual behaviour because they are based on evidence collected predominantly from prison inmates.

“If the public learns the truth, the sexperts in the field of human sexuality and the sex industry will be shaken to its foundations. . . . Whole shelves of books will have to be rewritten. Both public and religious schools will have to discard their sex ed courses. Lucrative public grants will dry up,” Reisman said.

She even alleged in her book that Kinsey was a paedophile. The Concerned Women For America later concurred with this view and declared that Kinsey-based sex education has put children at risk. In a scathing report, the group termed Kinsey’s research on sexology as fraudulent and inaccurate and asserted that it was biased towards his personal agenda and not towards exploring human sexology."

Yes, the psychiatrist and medical professionals that engage in “Gender Affirming Care” for these people are engaging in medical malpractice, period.

These are people who have true mental illnesses, and instead of helping them with their real illnesses, they decide, lets pander to an outward symptom that is not remotely the underlying cause.

The people who engage in this “gender affirming care” are liars, they do not tell these patients the truth (if they even know it themselves)... and they lie to the patients, to their families, etc etc... never ever telling them the actual truth. These people should be in JAIL.

Perhaps the solution is to coax, cajole, confuse or push kids from as early as kindergarten into questioning their gender, then beginning sex reassignment as soon as possible...and, jail parents who object.

Maybe that’ll slow it down.

Oh, wait.

This has been recognized as a mental disorder for about 100 years, so this isn’t surprising. It is only recently that the Media-Dem Party has succeeded in getting Gender Dysphoria removed from the DSM.

The fact that it is a self limiting group of people means that they, the trannies, have to recruit, and u fortu ately they are allowed unhindered access to kids in schools to do so

“Seems like this problem is solving itself.”

A rather simplistic viewpoint... considering that this Democrat regime currently occupying the White House is pushing transgenderism among normal kids in public schools.

What’s really stunning and amazing... is that “most” Americans, whether parents or not, are not up in arms (literally) about this. What will it take? Apparently there is nothing this demonic regime could do to provoke Americans to say ‘enough is enough’ and end it. Positively surreal.

Unless someone has a legitimate birth defect, anyone transgender is guaranteed to 100% have a mental illness.

People who hate themselves to the degree they have reached where they’ll voluntarily mutilate their bodies to escape who they are, are absolutely not right in the head.

“Transgender people also actually died as a result of the suicide attempts at a 350% higher level than non-transgender persons.”

Headline: “Research shows transgender people are more efficient”

It very well could be that the suicidal thoughts came first and they were told the reason for those were they were in the wrong body.

What I would like to know is how much of an increase in mental health problems/illness has been seen in the general population in the past 10 years and see how that compares proportionately to the “trans” population.

Maybe this study did but I am lazy this morning. But I have a feeling it was designed to reach the conclusion it did.

Perhaps the solution is, “Let them.” Call it showing support for their freedom of choice.

So, they’re mentally unstable, and that led to them thinking they could actually change everyone of their cell’s Y chromosomes to X and vice-versa.
