Stored for dropping a link in the replies the next time some old high school classmate posts some anti-trans stuff on the social media. (I can't find it right now, which is why I'm saving this off, but it was some bigoted bullshit about about equating acceptance with bad parenting.)
The TGNB youth assigned male at birth with acceptance from at least one adult had 40% lower odds of attempting suicide in the past year compared with TGNB youth who were not accepted (aOR=0.60), and TGNB youth assigned female at birth with acceptance from at least one adult had 29% lower odds of attempting suicide compared with those who were not accepted (aOR=0.71). Acceptance from at least one peer was associated with 46% lower odds of attempting suicide in the past year for TGNB youth assigned male at birth (aOR=0.54) and 27% lower odds of attempting suicide in the past year for TGNB youth assigned female at birth (aOR=0.73).
