Transgender adolescents are far more likely to attempt suicide than teens whose identity matches their sex assigned at birth, and trans male youth are especially at risk, a U.S. study suggests.
Roughly half of transgender teens who identify as male but were assigned a female gender at birth have attempted suicide at least once, the study found. And 42 percent of adolescents who dont identify exclusively as male or female have at least one prior suicide attempt.
About 30 percent of trans female teens - who identify as female but have birth certificates that label them as male - have tried suicide at least once, as have 28 percent of adolescents who are questioning their gender identity, the study also found.
In contrast to all of these groups of transgender teens, just 18 percent of females and 10 percent of males who are cisgender meaning their gender identity matches what it says on their birth certificate have attempted suicide.
Our findings are startling, said study leader Russell Toomey of the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Ironic that the fag left will continue to push tranny issues even if it kills half of them.
Can’t recall the Dr who wrote this but worth the read....
Individual delusion and mental illness should not drive public policy.....a male fetish is not a civil right.....Nobody is proposing preventing people with these problems from being able to live normal lives. But that’s done with treatment, not enabling....Can’t have it both ways. No matter how many Mercedes Benz emblems put on a truck it is still a Chevy truck.... Born a Chevy truck and will always be a Chevy truck...No matter how many parts you change it will always be what it is. ...Always.
Their problem is in their head.,,,people who live in their own fantasy world take sick pleasure in coercing people into their fantasy. They are abnormal, and they know it - but they figure it’s easy to change other people’s minds than to change and be normal. ......If anything it’s like dealing with drug users. When you enable a drug user such that they become an addict, and the drug user continues to be enabled, the drug user will die..... They have a problem that needs to be treated, to get them back to reality. The same holds true with so-called “trans” people. Enabling them, even to the point of mutilating and doping them up, doesn’t get them back to reality............ They do not have a right to be enabled by everybody else.
Crazy does as crazy is.
And years later even after surgery, drug abuse, and ‘free sex’, they still often kill themselves because they are uncomfrtable in their own skin.
The founder of now was a certifiably crazy dyke who advocated sex between adult woman and under age girls. Been a lot of crazy talk for 50 years
Not surprising in the least. I’m sure the actual percentage is much higher, if they would be totally honest.
No real surprise. I guess real life does not match the fantasy, huh?
It’s a mental illness. Almost every serial killer is either a homosexual, a necrophiliac, or a sadist.
Maybe it is not really a good idea to treat people with body dysmorphic disorder by cutting off body parts.
did you not no anything related to human sexuality can not be mental illness.
CONVERSION THERAPY. HELLO!!!!
Well, HERE’S an idea -
Why not put them in the military where they can have training and access to weaponry?
In the meantime the media and teachers were encouraging them to be brave and come out. Be proud blah, blah, blah.
Is it now wrong to say "but were born female"?
They dont think there are any issues inherent with someone thinking theyre a woman trapped in a mans body and all that. Instead, they blame society for being intolerant and hateful towards such people.
It must be a living hell to not have the gender you feel inside. To have a mans brain and womans body or vice versa. THAT is the cause of suicide. Not other people not recognizing you.
Think of a man born horribly disfigured. I knew one, who played monsters in the movies, WITH NO MAKEUP ON. He scared children to death. It wasnt societys fault that he scared them or that they couldnt recognize how great he was inside. Life sometimes throws you huge obstacles. He couldnt transition to a normal face.
We do need to treat everyone kindly and accept everyones conditions and help them. But the pain of being born with something wrong isnt everyone elses fault. Its no ones fault. I wish the APA understood thst small fact. Work on the people accepting themselves. Dedicate yourself to helping others. The lepers who were cared for by Mother Theresa wouldnt have minded which gender she felt like.
Right (what you said)? And we are hearing more often lately, that it is becoming a crime to suggest or mandate therapy that might help these children.
Instead, we are told to support their confusion, by making it acceptable for them to demand to be recognized as their “gender of choice”, which can change from hour to hour.
I bet a lot of these kids who identify as “transgender” would have given up the whole idea, if not having been encouraged by the MSM, liberal schools, and parents who think it is cute to let them make their own decisions about gender and sexuality, at young ages, like 3 and 4 years old.
Excellent
Maybe it is not really a good idea to treat people with body dysmorphic disorder by cutting off body parts.
These are young kids with only 50% of their logic in place. They see that the adults in charge see them as a problem that can be solved with drugs and a knife. DUH.
Thanks for this, I will be using this point. I am passionate in the psych world in promoting a First, Do No Harm line of treatment today for people with gender dysphoria. This was genius.
