“The prevalence of suicide remains high among transgender persons irrespective of disclosing their transgender status to others and undergoing sex reassignment surgery.[8]”
actually, this surprised me a bit. I’d have thought once surgery was performed and the patient realized they couldn’t ‘perform’ as they were led to believe would be possible, the suicide rate would be higher.
But you need to consider more, which is that these are school students who identified as transgender who reported attempting suicide in the last 12 months - not those who become disillusioned later. And yet almost 35% attempted suicide and almost 44% considered doing so. Among adults, Fifty percent of transgender persons in Australia have attempted suicide at least once in their lives, almost the same in England.
Any condition that has such stats should not be considered something to be promoted.
What is being pushed now is one study that says using preferred pronouns greatly reduces youth suicide rate, which stat and causality is dubious.
