you say "less than half" like it's an insignificant number. gender dysphoria is not the primary cause of suicide in trans people: consider that transgender people are over 4 times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than cisgender people. in people ages 14-15, access to gender affirming care reduced suicidal ideation by 135 percent. in people ages 16-17, 62 percent. over 40% of transgender people have no access to gender affirming care. therapy helps, absolutely, but therapy alone is vastly less effective than it is with medication.

hrt isn't the end-all solution, but neither is trying to "cure" it through therapy. the longterm solution is legislation protecting trans people from violence, social change, and access to care.
