The suicide rate is so high due to the way they are treated (they are not treated with dignity and respect, often by their own families, and are vilified in the media), they are also denied procedures to transition or it's made very difficult for them. The only happy trans people I've seen are those who have transitioned not those who have been treated as though it were a mental health problem.
Rubbish, this just sounds like a cope to me.
btw, respect is earned and not given freely, otherwise it's meaningless.
