Trans Danes Suicide 3.5 Times More

Power Line's Steven Hayward quotes the following from, of all places, the New York Times.

Transgender people in Denmark have a significantly higher risk of suicide than other groups, according to an exhaustive analysis of health and legal records from nearly seven million people over the last four decades. The study is the first in the world to analyze national suicide data for this group.

Transgender people in the country had 7.7 times the rate of suicide attempts and 3.5 times the rate of suicide deaths compared with the rest of the population. (snip) Transgender people in Denmark died — by suicide or other causes — at younger ages than others.

Further evidence that trans is a manifestation of mental illness. Meanwhile, Hayward adds:

The study this Times article is based on was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association today. 

Afterthought: JAMA is not flaky. Plus sampling error isn't an issue, a study with a sample size of millions is essentially impossible to refute.
