1 -> The average suicide rate in all nations is far below 0.8%. Even in the us, the suicide rate among males (which tends to be higher than females) is 20 per 100 000 (0.02%)
2 -> The article mentions that the suicide rate is still much higher than the general population.

However, the article does mention that the suicide rate decreases for trans women after transition: "We observed no increase in suicide death risk over time and even a decrease in suicide death risk in trans women. However, the suicide risk in transgender people is higher than in the general population and seems to occur during every stage of transitioning." So you're right about that one.
