Even including attempts that's high as shit. Thought about it, then it might not be that high, depending on how serious the thought have to be.

I'm fairly certain it's attempts now that I've looked at it again. It's been a long time since I've read breakdowns of the studies and what the numbers all mean. It wasn't as simple as 41% of trans people attempt suicide. The numbers went down post transition and I don't think suicide attempts had to be serious attempts to be counted (I think it's worth nitpicking this).

Edit: Tried finding the survey the number comes from and got a bunch of different responses that are just confusing me more at this point. I'm probably done here, since researching suicide statistics isn't a ton of fun.

That's understandable

Who hasn't thought about suicide even once in their life? I mean really.

A bit of the call of the void every now and then keeps you on the edge

Thought? Sure. But this was "attempted", which is way past thinking of it

Yeah but like in a "how could you do that" kind of way, not an "actually considering it" kind of way.
