According to the study, which used data gathered on people aged 15 and older, between 1980 and 2021, trans people in Denmark had attempted to take their own lives at 7.7 times the rate of cisgender people, with the rate of death 3.5 times higher for trans people than their cisgender counterparts. 

Among the 3,759 survey participants who identified as transgender, there were 92 suicide attempts and 12 suicides between 1980 and 2021. However, researchers say the true numbers could be higher, because the records they used did not always capture a person’s gender identity.

Transgender people in Denmark also experience 1.9 times the rate of mortality unrelated to suicide and twice the rate of “all-cause” mortality, compared with non-transgender individuals. 

The study also found that trans people in Denmark have a statistically lower age of mortality compared with their cisgender peers.

Well what exactly did you think they would find? Between lack of family support and the political climate that the right-wing is stirring up there is no other outcome that can be expected.

An earlier American study found that half of trans and non-binary youth in the country had considered suicide in the past year, with five to 10 per cent of participants also revealing that they had been subjected to conversion therapy practices..

Another study by the same charity, The Trevor Project, found that a quarter of young Black trans and non-binary people in the US had attempted to end their own lives.

“Simply put, the mental health of Black transgender and non-binary young people is a public-health crisis,” the senior director of research science at The Trevor Project, Dr Myeshia Price, said.

Intersectionality. It is not just additive but multiplicative, being trans and Black doubles the stress we are under.

The conservatives know what they are doing increases self-harm idealizations but they don’t care and they even use it against us, “These people are mentally unstable, look at the self harm attempts.” Yeah right! It is because you right-wingers are threaten us, screaming and yelling at us, refusing to sever us, bullying, and harassing us. Gee, what did think would happen?
