> We can even observe the suicide rate of transgender people, which is wildly high, become about the same as the normal populace if they are allowed to go through with transition without threats or violence. Do you have a source for this? Because I’ve seen other conflicting claims that transitioning and trans acceptance doesn’t show much effect on suicide outcomes.

There’s conflicting claims because there’s a lot of SEO spam about it. Some recent studies: (2022) “ In this prospective cohort of 104 TNB youths aged 13 to 20 years, receipt of gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones, was associated with 60% lower odds of moderate or severe depression and 73% lower odds of suicidality over a 12-month follow-up.” https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2789423 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... (2021) “ Data were collected as part of a 2020 survey of 34,759 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth aged 13–24, including 11,914 transgender or nonbinary youth… Use of GAHT was associated with lower odds of recent depression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = .73, p < .001) and seriously considering suicide (aOR = .74, p < .001) compared to those who wanted GAHT but did not receive it. For youth under age 18, GAHT was associated with lower odds of recent depression (aOR = .61, p < .01) and of a past-year suicide attempt (aOR = .62, p < .05).” https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(21)00568-1/fulltext#secsectitle0010 https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(21)00568-1/full...
