That is incredibly sad.

They are more likely to kill themselves after transition. The community has insisted it's because they aren't accepted, but they were functionally accepted by society. They may be eroding that welcome, but no other group who was truly oppressed got that reception anywhere near that quickly. They are at the top of the oppressed totem pole.

The largely unspoken reason they kill themselves is because afterward many have feelings of regret right away, the fantasy bubble pops when they realize medically what they've done to themselves and psychologically hit rock bottom when they realize everyone was being kind and no one actually believes they are the opposite sex and no one wants to build a romantic healthy relationship with someone who wears their mental illness clearly as a fashion statement. Their entirely experimental surgeries leave many with awful complications that also severely decrease quality of life, while reinforcing the reality that they will never be "real" men or women, because emptying the colostomy bag from your complications tends to prevent you from floating away in the fantasy that you have changed sex. It is incredibly sad we are all socially supporting this by pretending their delusions are "valid."

And they're mostly recruiting gender nonconforming, gay and lesbian, autistic kids - a group often targeted for euthanasia. Sterilization, of course, is one end result of this "treatment." It is incredibly sad.

More likely than the general population.

Transitioning itself reduces suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in patents with gender dysphoria.

Where is the evidence for suicide in the trans community? Seriously. The one study used to claim they have incredibly high suicide rates is very, very faulty. The studies to show this have not been done, often due to pressure against it from the transactivists who don't want anyone looking too closely to the lies that don't hold up under debate.

Again, narcissists often loudly threaten to kill themselves, but they rarely actually do. The numbers of suppressed trans killing themselves throughout the years simply aren't there. The ones who do commit suicide after medical transition are largely because they reach the end of the fantasy rope. There is no believing you're actually the other sex (brain or body) when reality finally gets through the fog of delusion that people were just validating to be nice, but will never see them as authentically the other sex. No other delusion is supported in mental health care. The treatment for all others who have detached from reality is to bring them back to self-acceptance (polar opposite of gender identity ideology movement) and reality.
