100 suicide attempts leads to 1 death, according to the source I provided.

In a different demographic which can’t be soundly extrapolated. That’s the leap.

If you were going to doubt the 8% stat anyway, regardless of what any source had to say, why did you even bother asking for a source?

You sent an untargeted link to a 300 page non searchable pdf. I’m not reading a 300 page report to find where you ignored something about that statistic

If you can be socially pressured out of being transgender, then that's only further evidence that it's not an identity, isn't it

You can’t be made not transgender but you can be made to pretend, just like you can be pressured into pretending you aren’t gay. It doesn’t make you not gay or not trans.

No, it's the same demographic. It's a like with like comparison. Because the self-reported attempted suicide demographic were students I sought out the student suicide attempt-to-completion ratio.

I gave you the page number, so not 300 pages, just 1.

90% desistance rate says otherwise. Pretending is what they were doing before they desisted. Pretending is what the ones who failed to desist are doing. Secondly, gay isn't an identity, it's an orientation.
