Twenty times? Gosh, it’s almost like they suffer from some form of mental illness.

The suicide rate for transsexuals is 20 times the normal rate.

That is only true for people who had SRS before 1989 when transgender people were treated far worse that today, from 1989-2003 the rate was not statistically significant.

Some key findings of the transgender study:

– The support of parents mattered greatly even when a transgender person was well into adulthood.

– The risk of suicidal thoughts dropped 44% among trans Ontarians who could get legal forms such as birth certificates or OHIP cards with their new gender.

– Those who experienced low levels of trans-based hate were 66% less likely to consider suicide that those who endured high levels through things such as abuse.

– There was a link between suicide and how far along a trans person was in changing their body to the desired state – the closer to completion, the fewer attempted suicides.
