We haven't established that discrimination is the cause for the suicide. I would think that mutilating the body and taking foreign hormones really isn't "fixing" anything. The underlying problem is psychological, so a psychological solution should be sought.
So... "we haven't established that discrimination is the cause," is sufficient reason for you to dismiss it as a factor out of hand based on nothing, but... the fact that you haven't established that transitioning is the cause is not sufficient reason to dismiss your claim out of hand. The more you talk, the more it becomes clear that what you consider to be good argumentation relies solely on how much it aligns with what you already believe. It's just all presuppositions with you.

By the way, not all trans people chemically or surgically transition, you know. There's an actual, demonstrable reason why you should rule out transitioning as a cause for the suicide rate, and it's that. You are demonstrably wrong, but that tends to happen when you don't care about evidence beyond what confirms what you already believe.
