The weight of existence : suicide, self-harm and health inequalities in transgender populations
Abstract
This series of articles will examine the issues of suicide, self-harm and the health disparities that disproportionately affect the trans population. It will also discuss how these issues are routinely under-addressed, under-researched, and portrayed negatively within the government, media and the NHS. This article, the first in the series, will provide a background of the risk factors, statistics relating to self-harm in the trans community, and a brief history of discrimination experienced by its members.
