Debunking the “41%” transgender suicides figure
The way the "41%" figure is used by transphobes is an attempt beat us down even further than they already do. But its just not what the data says.

The debate was attended by so many, from different parties and nations. Yet all came to the same conclusion: conversion “therapy” is abuse.
