On a list, someone offered a link to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM)–vOZZBcA
I responded:
I guess that I am confused.
The video asserts that the average rate of suicide is 3 people per 100,000 people. I'm guessing, because it is not stated, that is per year in the United States.
It then says that the "Transgender Transsexual" suicide rate is 31%. Assuming that this means people who identify as transgender or transsexual, that number is difficult.
