"According to a study released this week in The Archives of Sexual Behavior, 81.75% of transgender people questioned suffered from some type of physical aggression during their lifetime, 31.16% perceived discrimination in the workplace and 22.84% attempted suicide at least once.
The study, Transsexual people are frequently victims of aggression and discrimination, used the general definition of the word transsexual as the attainment, by an individual, of the physical characteristics of the opposite sex by means of surgery or hormone therapy."

I wonder why the suicide number in this study is only 23%? It's usually reported at 41%.
23 is a number that is still too high, but I like it a lot better.
