I don’t think that’s been refuted? Until recently it was classified as a disorder in the realm of psychology. Since then, solutions are still being thought up to curve the insanely high suicide rates, but I’m pretty sure he’s never refuted that.

The high suicide rates are also likely a causation of social pressures more so than that of an actual effect of gender dysphoria, although it may be a contributing factor it likely isnt the main one.

Social pressures don’t contribute to a suicide rate higher than slaves and Jews in concentration camps.

This is a very apples and oranges comparison. Comparing being trans, were you are told your existance is illegitimate, compared to being considered vermin and mass murdered along side bring considered an animal. These three things are non-compareable.

? The comparison is suicide. People who have been treated far worse than trans people had a lower suicide rate. That is the comparison. To say “not feeling accepted leads to a suicide rate of 40%” is ignoring the full problem.

Have you read the suicide note of trans kids? They primarily reference feeling out of place and discriminated against, where the suicide notes of people with other disorders reference feelings of emptiness or nothingness, which isn't replicated in those of trans kids.

This is anecdotal and still doesn’t account for the huge disparity

Although anecdotal, social isolation is crippling to human psyche as we are social creatures. Being ex-communicated from your family and social outcast because of a mental disorder would be a major reason for the 40% suicide rate. Although that is the accepted theory right now.
