Why are transgender people more likely to commit suicide?

[The Architect Of Fate]

---

I split Dysphoria from Trans because they are not inherently the same .

Your last sentence has the issue of automatically conflating Trans with dysphoria these are distinct and would not explain trans who commit suicide without dysphoria

This is my understanding of the words Gender Dysphoria and Transgender:

In the transition from DSM-IV to DSM-5 there was a shift of focus from the issue of identity to the issue of distress that affects transgenders. However, shifting the focus towards distress does not eliminate the issue of identity; it still accompanies the diagnosis. To put it another way, the word Gender Dysphoria is a compound noun. "Gender" is not functioning as an adjective to specify the type of dysphoria a person has. Individuals have "Gender Dysphoria" not "Dysphoria about their gender." 

Gender Dysphoria is the emotional or cognitive discontent with one's assigned gender; this means that in a non-clinical sense, the word Gender Dysphoria is synonymous with Transgender; it is the thing that transgenders have or makes them transgender. You can see this in the diagnostic criteria. They are composed of things that most transgenders relate with, such as the incongruence between your gender identity and your assigned sex, a desire to be treated as the opposite gender, or a conviction that you have the feelings and reactions of the opposite gender.

However, being clinically diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria makes the term take on more nuance. For example, you have to account for how strongly and for how long individuals have these feelings for.

Edit: I removed my analogy of feeling depressed and being diagnosed with depression.

Wrong on all counts . If there is no distress there is no dysphoria
