According to recent research, transgender people are significantly more likely to commit suicide than their peers.
Using Denmark's centralized data repository, the new study discovered that the rate at which transgender people attempted suicide is 770% higher than non-transgender people. Transgender people also actually died as a result of the suicide attempts at a 350% higher level than non-transgender persons.
Dr. Morten Frisch, a sexual health epidemiologist at the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen and co-author of the study, told The New York Times, “This is beyond doubt a huge problem that needs to be looked at,” Suicide word cloud

His team identified nearly 3,800 transgender individuals in Denmark using hospital records and applications for legal gender changes in order to investigate the issue. between the years 1980 and 2021. The actual rates of death and suicide are most probably much higher. The United States and Denmark have comparable suicide rates, so the findings may also apply to the United States, as noted by the researchers.
"These surveys tend to include much broader swaths of trans individuals, and we cannot be as certain that our results are equally problematic for the broader group," said Frisch.
In other countries, such as the United States, where transgender people and others have been targeted by laws restricting bathroom access, gender-related medical care, and drag performances, the findings may indicate an even higher risk of suicide among LGBTQ individuals. The Times quoted Ann Haas, an emeritus professor at the City University of New York who has studied suicide risk among LGBTQ persons for two decades, as saying, "This offers a stark rebuttal to some of those political arguments suggesting that suicide risk in these groups is exaggerated."
The Danish study also found that there was a 600% higher rate of mental illness amongst transgender individuals compared to non-transgender individuals.
“Trans people face widespread poverty, widespread discrimination, they’re more likely to experience homelessness, they’re overrepresented in our nation’s prison system, our nation’s foster care system,” Gillian Branstetter, the communications strategist at the American Civil Liberties Union focusing on transgender rights, stated to the Times. “That material lack has very real consequences on their lives, up to and including early deaths.”
The findings appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association on June 27.

And lemme guess: they conclude that it’s Trump’s fault.
It IS a mental illness...
They might be able to convince the brain but not the body.
“Mentally ill people have a higher rate of mental illness”.
Brilliant finding. Who could have known?
But we already knew that.
Which is why they are pushing it in schools. The 2030 Hemlock Society agenda.
What’s being left out here is that these people are ALREADY mentally impaired.
“Seems like this problem is solving itself.”
Suicide is a very sad way to solve a problem, and typically never does solve anything at all with trans people or other.
There’s always a root cause that creates the mental illness creating the suicide. With these people it’s a combination of the downward spiral of our culture in general and the indoctrination towards being sexual perverts. All thanks to the rat party.
This will never end until the rat party is abolished or transformed back into that of the JFK era. That will solve the problem of the trans people, and many many more problems affecting America.
How long before they are forced retract this?
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck ...... yeah, it’s crazy.
Obama ‘s legacy is partly the destruction of civil rights when the LGBTQ movement becomes a mental illness blame Obama.
Gee, that comes as a surprise... 🙄
Color me surprised.
Well spank my a$$ and call me “Charlie”.
Gee, ya think. Since gender dysphoria is a mental issue itself, any idiot could come to that conclusion without a study.
“Seems like this problem is solving itself.”
People who make bad decisions are desperate for validation. Therefore, they attempt to make others make the same bad decisions. If they get enough people to make the same decision then eventually, it will be the right decision and they’ll finally feel okay with themselves. That’s problem one.
Someone posted an article on how homosexuality got removed from the DSM. Apparently, there were several votes on the issue. People who voted that it was a mental illness were attacked. Eventually, enough people simply didn’t vote that the condition was removed from the DSM.
When it comes to politics, violence works. That’s problem two.
Hmm 🤔. That would assume that gender deniers start with no mental illness, and not all are mentally ill after they transition. Some would say they are all mentally ill. I rather remove the psycho-babble and call gender denial a manifestation of evil, which leads to behavior that can be mistaken for mental illness.
You know homosexuality was a mental disorder until 1973. Then faggots forced psychiatrists to remove it from their list of disorders. They will do the same with gender denial if they can find a way for health insurance to pay for “affirming” counseling, drugs, and genital mutilation.
being gay shortens lifespan by more than 20 years on on study
Uh, hey ‘jama’ x-spurts........Newsflash!!! X-gender IS the mental state. Maybe change the title of your whatever to JAMAC-—Journal of Amercan Medical Ass Clowns.
