    Bullying makes it seem like its happening only in a school playground, and doesn’t even hint at the amount of discrimination they face.

    Trans ppl face high levels of sexual assault, hate crimes, exclusion from family, lack of support networks, economic hardship from not being able to get hired, medical discrimination, societal discrimination, and a whole lot more.

      I understand the full scope of what you are saying, but if these factors were the cause then you would see higher relative rates among groups that have been even more harmed throughout history.

          Jews in the haulocaust, or black slaves, or blacks in the south after slavery ended. There are probably a lot of good data sets I am not aware of that study these kinds of things have data on.
