The outcomes for transgender adolescents are pretty horrific. This recent US study shows "30% to 51% of TGAs report at least 1 lifetime suicide attempt. Furthermore, over half of TGAs report engaging in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) during the past year." pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/5/…
There is also pretty decent evidence that "socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression." pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/137/3/…
The charity @Mermaids_Gender is working to create a better and more supportive environment for transgender kids. It has launched a crowdfunder which I am proud to support crowdfunder.co.uk/mermaidsvoice
If you are interested in whether @Mermaids_Gender is the right charity to support, I recommend you read this report by the National Lottery which, unlike many in this space, has no ideological agenda. tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/news/press-rel…
