More than half of transgender or gender non-conforming people who experienced
bullying or harassment have attempted suicide, according to a recently released
study.

The National Transgender Discrimination Survey, conducted by the National Gay
and Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality,
revealed that 41 percent of respondents had attempted suicide, compared to a
national estimated rate of 1.6 percent.
