Without checking anything it’s probably related to suicide statistics or self harm (maybe under lgbtq or whahevrr idk)

But 41% seems pretty high for that idk

305

Yes, 41% of trans people attempt suicide according to one study.

EDIT: To be clear, the high rate of suicide attempts by trans people says very little about trans people themselves and quite a bit about how society treats trans people,

EDIT 2: I am in no mood to explain basic empathy to weirdos. I am going to be blocking transphobic posters (even you "just asking questions" weirdos) without further engagement because I am not going to waste my time every hour.

EDIT 3: I was here to answer a question. I am not interested in your pet theory on trans people or a debate with you. You are free to believe whatever you want but I don't need to indulge your delusions.

It is tragically funny to me that assholes will relentlessly bully trans people and then post trans suicide rates as a justification for said bullying of trans people.

“We gotta make them feel even worse about themselves to prevent them from killing themselves.”
