Gotta read the study

20619 transgender adults aged 18 to 36 years

16.9% reported that they ever wanted pubertal suppression = 3485 people mean age 23.4 years

Of them, 2.5% received pubertal suppression = 87 people

What conclusions are we to draw about "lifetime" suicidal ideation from a 87 people, half of whom are 23 or younger, and all of whom are [at least recently] confused about their gender identity?

Speaking as someone who had suicidal ideation at age 47, I say none at all.
