There's no evidence that trans people have greater rates of suicide attempts, completed suicides, homelessness, or mental and bodily harm. These are all simply claims and assertions made by people who ID as trans & their advocates.

People who ID as trans are not reliable sources of this sort of info cuz a) self-reporting about mental health conditions & suicide ideation & attempts by anyone is never reliable; b) everybody lies, as Dr House often pointed out; c) people who ID as trans are already basing their lives on a lie, so telling more lies comes easily to them; d) the vast majority of people who ID as trans have other "co-morbid" mental health issues; e) amongst people who ID as trans, an unusually high % have personality disorders.

This is so true. There was someone who pointed out that what people called a trans murder epidemic in the whole UK during a certain year was four murders.

There is data to suggest that the trans population is the safest population there is, and that they have a lower murder rate and lower exposure to violence than most other groups, with the exception of the sub-group of trans people who are involved in prostitution. The most vulnerable population is women of color.

In the UK, studies showed that TIMs are more likely to be murderers than murdered.

There are stats for children's suicides. The outliers are lesbian girls, for whom the risk is nearly double the baseline. Trans-identified boys are the same as normal boys. (The difference from adult suicide stats, where men are more at risk, is because adult men are more likely to use a gun.)
