Beginning a media release, entitled Bullying, Transgender Students, and the Risk of Suicide, by the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and The Gay And Lesbian Task Force was the following statement:
New study findings show pervasive bullying of and violence toward transgender and gender non-conforming people, alarmingly high rates of suicide attempts
Ugh.
NCTE has this video on their front page:
More Ugh. The numbers on suicide that NCTE cites in this video are just joyless, and knowing that the grim numbers that were cited reflect the thoughts of real people...well, it's just heartbreaking.
