State laws targeting transgender people made trans and nonbinary young people more likely to attempt suicide in the past year, according to a first-of-its-kind study.
The research, published last week in the journal Nature Human Behavior and conducted by the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization, is the first to establish that such laws directly caused an increase in suicide attempts.
The Trevor Project surveyed more than 60,000 trans and nonbinary young people (ages 13-24) about their mental health from 2018 to 2022, a period in which 19 state governments enacted 48 laws targeting trans people, particularly youth. These included restrictions on transition-related care for minors and laws that bar trans student athletes from playing on the school sports teams that align with their gender identities.
The study compared suicide-related outcomes for trans and nonbinary young people in those 19 states to the outcomes for trans and nonbinary youth in states that did not enact any such laws.

What state laws target Trans? By not allowing men in women’s bathrooms??
There are no anti-trans laws.
NBC is way outside of the mainstream.
An increase in suicides may mean a decrease in murders.
I prefer crimes that only hurt the perpetrator.
They gave up the plot in the first line. Who is being "targeted"?
All the state's is saying you can't mutate kids with mental disorders.
If there is a relationship between truth-telling and people seeking to harm themselves then the situation is dire - more dire than the article acknowledges.
Nobody cares...
When money is involved (and it usually is) people conducting studies like this always manage to find what they are hoping to find.
exactly ass backwards.
States that care, are trying to discourage these poor mentally ill people from going down the sad path of trans or gay whatever that will lead to them dying young or committing suicide.
Being gay lowers your life expectancy more than smoking, drinking, and obesity combined!
Why do the mentally ill democrats only convert back and forth between male and female, ignoring the other 137 genders they have discovered?
After the mutilation sex change is over and the idiot realizes what a mess their body is in, they decided to go to sleep.
if your study’s control group is bat shiite crazy, perhaps the outcome will be bat shiite.
Oh we have settled the science then. Why don’t gun laws cause suicides?
Are crazy people more likely to to kill themselves than non-crazy people? Just wondering.
Hearing the neighbors committed suicide make them trans?
Yes, produced by a trans propaganda mill, not a real study at all.
I’ve met a few on the local music scene, and I fully concur.
BTT
Trust science and scientists even more. We learned that from Fauci et al.
Deluded people do stupid stuff then kill themselves on the way. Shocking.
Don’t believe it for one second. Behavioral studies are bogus. Psychology is politically motivated pseudoscience.
