- vibrato 9y agoTransgender people have an alarmingly high suicide rate. It appears that about 40% of transgender people attempt suicide, while anorexia results in death for about 4% of those afflicted.
- loeg 9y agoNote that suicide attempts and death are not 1:1. I expect the rate of suicide deaths is still higher than 4% in transgender people, but it isn't the same as the attempt rate. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/ https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/means-matter/
