Transgender Suicide Attempt Rates Are Staggering

Teenager Ash Haffner's suicide last week is the latest example of an alarming statistic plaguing the trans and gender non-conforming community

According to surveys, 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population has self-reported a suicide attempt, with that number climbing to between 10 and 20 percent for lesbian, gay or bisexual respondents. By comparison, 41 percent of trans or gender non-conforming people surveyed have attempted suicide.
