@The Postman Thank you for the statistics.
What about causes?
Additional article information
Abstract
Background:
Suicide rate and suicidal tendencies among transgender persons are considerably high compared to general population. Hence, this review is an attempt to understand the issues around the suicide and suicidal behavior among transgender persons.
Methodology:
The literature search conducted using three sources, i.e., electronic databases (PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar, PsycInfo), manual search (library catalog), and gray literature (consultation with experts).
Results:
The suicide attempt rate among transgender persons ranges from 32% to 50% across the countries. Gender-based victimization, discrimination, bullying, violence, being rejected by the family, friends, and community; harassment by intimate partner, family members, police and public; discrimination and ill treatment at health-care system are the major risk factors that influence the suicidal behavior among transgender persons.
Are you sure you are not doing anything that might contribute to the high suicide rates?

@sugariedreams2707 In order to justify your stance, you are drawing a "false equivalency" (which you can google for more info). If you'd be willing to study the topic you're voicing your opinion about, you'd realise that Transgenders and Schizophrenics are entirely different things.
Transgender (or any LGBTQ for that matter) does not fall in the same category as people who believe they are animals, or people who "believe they are Jeff Bezos".
Yes, there are even people out there who believe they are Barbie Dolls, and spend hundreds of thousands on operations. Should we forbid or enforce unwanted therapy that too?
Should therapy be enforced for everything and anything everybody doesn't like?
Or, just the things you don't like?
As far as I'm concerned:
1) if people are no danger to society, or seriously infringe on the lives of others, let them be (as foreseen by the Declaration of Independence aka "pursuit of life liberty and happiness)
[note, I consciously write "infringe", not "cause discomfort" to others]
2) help people who want to be helped (voluntary basis), no force or excessive coercion applied
3) institutionalize those who are dangerous to others, paid for by the taxpayers who benefits from a safer environment/society
Unless you can come up with some really good arguments why 2) or 3) should apply to the LGBTQ community, you dont really have a case.
