New study out on suicide rates in trans folk. The article analyzed *actual* completed suicides rather than self-reported thoughts or attempts:
0.80% in transwomen
0.25% in transmen

0.80% in transwomen
0.25% in transmen

Interestingly, cis-women are more likely to *attempt* suicide than cis-men, but cis-men are more likely to *complete* suicide than cis-women.
The pattern among transfolk matches biological sex rather than their social gender.
