I'm sure someone will come in and say that the suicide rate is 100% the result of society and has nothing to do with brain chemistry, but I will laugh at those people. the general US population has a suicide attempt rate of 4.6% Gay, lesbian and bisexual people have a suicide attempt rate somewhere around 10-20% Transgender people have a suicide attempt rate of 41% obviously, every LGBT persons brain is just naturally more fucked up than heterosexual people, and societies treatment of those people has absolutely no bearing on their suicide attempt rates It's cute how you list out the different suicide rates for LGB and Trans people and then attempt to bundle them together into the same conclusion as if they're the same. It's also cute how you did exactly what I assumed someone would by implying that society's impact on the rates explains the full (or vast majority of the) 5-10X jump in rates compared to everyone else. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
