See We Told You So

That is what anti-LGBT people are saying; look at the high suicide rate it shows that trans people are unstable… they totally ignore the causes of the high suicide rates, its them. Their hate causes our distress.

Gender identity strongly influences the likelihood a teen will attempt suicide, a new study finds.

Nearly 14% of teens who participated in a survey reported trying to kill themselves, with transgender teens reporting the highest rates of suicide attempts. Among female to male teens, the language the study uses for transgender male teens, more than half (50.8%) said they'd tried to take their lives, according to the study, published Tuesday in the journal Pediatrics.

The sample included 202 teens (0.2%) who identified as male-to-female transgender, 175 (0.1%) who were female-to-male transgender and 344 (0.3%) not exclusively male or female transgender, also called nonbinary. About 0.9% of the surveyed teens (1,052) reported questioning or not being sure of their gender identity. Additionally, 50.6% (60,973) of females identified as female, and 48% (57,871) of males identified as male. (The researchers rounded up the percentages for publication.)

What is known is that transgender teens are more likely "to experience discrimination, victimization, and rejection, which are all associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors," he said. "Other research suggests that the lack of connection and belonging, as well as feeling like a burden to society, are key predictors of suicidal behavior."

Family support is a game-changer, Toomey said: When transgender youth feel that support, "they are more likely to thrive and exhibit similar levels of psychological functioning" as their peers.

Feeling marginalized, stigmatized and isolated also "leads a lot of kids to that level of hopelessness and helplessness, which is one of the things that can fuel depression and substance use," said Huszti, who was not involved in the new study. She added that "substance use and depression together can also make you more at risk for suicide."

All you need is love, love, love.

Isn’t it amazing what love can do for us, love can lower the suicide rate do to the level in the general population. While hate kills us.
