This post focuses on violence as the cause of death for many transgendered people. This post reminded me that suicide is a very real threat for trans folks too. It mention's Kate Bornstein's somewhat radical and very compassionate book, Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws, a great resource for anyone who has felt "othered."
