I get that you’re replying to the results from the study he’s referencing, but you see equally disturbing rates of suicide across the entire trans community. Pre or post transition, very little difference.
I'd presume it's because a lot of people expect this magical transformation to happen where they'll suddenly be in their dream body, but a lot of the time that just doesn't happen. Then they get depressed because they're either a short, frumpy man, or this mannish ogre of a woman. The amount of money even needed to invest in surgeries to help correct that is insane too. Lots of plastic surgery. Even then sometimes it doesn't help. 75% of the transition process is your own genetics. Hopefully medicine and science will catch up one day.
Incorrect. A lot of passing has to do with your own genetics, dedication to hormone therapy, and properly dressing yourself. It's a lot of work and money to look the way you want to. Not some magical girl transformation.

It absolutely never happens.
These mentally ill people are being sold a lie, because a man who is not of the Asian race can never hope to pass as a woman.
The media is lying to them giving them false hopes.
