性少数地位是女同性恋者、男同性恋者和双性恋者青年自杀的关键危险因素；然而，在变性人青年中还没有研究过这一点。55名变性人青年报告了他们威胁生命的行为。近一半的受访者表示曾认真考虑过结束自己的生命，四分之一的受访者表示曾试图自杀。与自杀企图显著相关的因素包括与变性人身份有关的自杀意念；父母过去遭受言语和身体虐待的经历；以及较低的身体尊重，特别是体重满意度和对他人如何评价青少年身体的想法。性少数地位是变性人青年中威胁生命的行为的关键风险因素。
Sexual minority status is a key risk factor for suicide among lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth; however, it has not been studied among transgender youth. Fifty-five transgender youth reported on their life-threatening behaviors. Nearly half of the sample reported having seriously thought about taking their lives and one quarter reported suicide attempts. Factors significantly related to having made a suicide attempt included suicidal ideation related to transgender identity; experiences of past parental verbal and physical abuse; and lower body esteem, especially weight satisfaction and thoughts of how others evaluate the youths' bodies. Sexual minority status is a key risk factor for life-threatening behaviors among transgender youth.
