from all the stories and articles etc I've seen Transgender People Have a high suicide rate both before and after transitioning. its a complicated subject the whole nurture vs nature argument is based of the John/Joan case, basically twins at birth 1 had an accident and lost his penis, was raised as a girl and was claimed a success as proof that nurture was the way.. later on, the twin, Now Joan found out the truth and re-transitioned to a boy (nature). as Joan always felt like John. Conclusion if you not happy and really are believe you are in the wrong body.. go for it. However. this whole transgender issue has become too trendy, and In places like the US and UK, too easy just to say your now X instead of Y, without proper examination by a trained psychologist, I think is the real problem, it should not be promoted the way it is, its not a fashion symbol but a deep and lasting and sometime traumatic experience and should be treated as such.
