The research, published last week in the journal Nature Human Behavior and conducted by the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization, is the first to establish that such laws directly caused an increase in suicide attempts.

“conducted by the Trevor Project”

Oh, gee, I wonder if the study is going to confirm the Trevor Project’s assumptions and biases.

Even if the two concepts are in the same room assigning cause and effect is still shaky. The argument can solidly be made that a person wanting to change genders has already crossed the line for mental stability.
