The Alarming Findings of a New Study on Transgender Teens and Suicide

One in every two transgender adolescents who are born female but identify as male has attempted suicide in the past year, according to a new study.

The study, “Transgender Adolescent Suicide Behavior,” was published in Pediatrics, the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

It raises serious questions about how families, schools, doctors, government, and the media should grapple with the increasing number of children and teens who self-identify as transgender.

In addition to the alarmingly high rate of suicide attempts among transgender boys, the study reported an attempted-suicide rate of over 40 percent for adolescents who identify as gender nonconforming (neither exclusively male or female) and nearly 30 percent for transgender girls (children and teens who were born male but identify as female).

Mentally ill, whether or not you're accepted societally, you're still mentally ill. Duh.

How can we deny that this trend is not the result of years of luciferians ideals being pushed on us from every aspect of society!
We will reap great sorrow from allowing this sickness to appear normal behavior. This is just the beginning

Let it continue sometimes you have to let society fail so they can see there wrong that goes for everyone. Only then can it be changed if it's not too late?

@1:13 this whole country suffers from one form of mental illness or another. In saying that who really gives a flying F*** about being accepted by society??

Someone should start a help line to ensure they get it right when they make the attempt. The less of these whack jobs the better.

302-Most folks who have issues don't get parts of their body chopped off. It shows you how mentally ill these people are. The reason I mentioned being accepted by society is simple, for decades people of that ilk claimed that not being accepted, is what led to these high suicide rates. When in fact, it was their mental illness.
