A 2020 academic study with a sample size of 372 respondents found that 40 percent of transgender people had attempted suicide. It found that interpersonal microaggressions and emotional neglect by family members were the leading contributors to the attempts.
Similarly, in 2016, the National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that 41 percent of 6,450 respondents said they had previously attempted suicide. By comparison, the CDC found that in 2020, 0.36 percent of the population had attempted suicide.
According to a 2022 survey by The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ suicide prevention organization, nearly 1 in 5 young people who identified as transgender or non-binary have attempted suicide.
Meanwhile, a 2018 study of more than 120,000 children age 11 to 19 found that 41.8 percent of non-binary adolescents—those who do not identify as definitively male or female—had attempted suicide

The bigger the sample the less likely survivorship bias of the respondents.
Took me forever to find the last study, for those interested, link:

As you can see it’s rather lackluster in presenting it’s findings.
Thanks. That’s so sad 😢
Also I’ve gotten so worried of the use of em-dashes, so I’m glad you had a source.
Yeah a bunch of maga think that’s an insult, and not just evidence of their cruelty and ignorance.
also yeah i just copy and pasted tbh so could be ai used by the ~source, ~ idk
