You tell me: > In America, people proudly declare shopping a hobby.
Did I say, “All Americans”? Or was I making a comment about a common occurrence within the country?
Oh, come on.

That "40 to 50%" trans statistic is incredibly worrying. Can you share where it's from so I can reference it in the future when these discussions come up?
It sounds worrying, and it is. But it's important to make one distinction. It's not "transgender people inherently have a 40% suicide rate". It's "transgender people are in situations where their suicide rates climb to as high as 40%". It's also important to understand the difference between "suicide ideation" and "suicide attempts" which are two different numbers that are often mixed up. - https://www.thetrevorproje…
Was the 2008 NTDS for all ages or just adults? Did it control for mental health? Does asking a single question about attempts without follow-up interviewing ("Have you ever attempted suicide?") have any effect on the reliability of the data? [1] Why say "40 to 50%"? How can a rate "go as high as" 40% to 50% -- do you mean, when you add more variables besides identifying as trans?
