Why are transgender people more likely to commit suicide?
I have known a few trans people - a couple quite well. To the best of my knowledge - all had tried to commit suicide at least once. (Only one succeeded).

While that isn't indicative of the whole of the population - it has always made me wonder.

According to UCLA - trans folk are 18 times more likely to have attempted suicide in the past year compared to the general population.

Is a trans person more likely to commit suicide, or is a suicidal person more likely to change gender?

I wonder as one person I know tried committing suicide before transition.....
