I disregarded this particular set of facts because of the tone and its a lot from just one article. I added more facts about the violence and the effects like their mental health that can decline as a results. I also put in facts about bullying which I though was interesting and it wasn't mention.

Receiving Medical benefits has important impacts on psychological well-being for transgender youth.

Xavier et al found that the median for the first occurrence of rape in early teens was 14 years for a female-to-male transgender individual and 15 years for a men-to-female transgender individual. Nonconforming youths are greatly vulnerable to sexual violence starting before the age of 12 according to the FORGE report. Xavier et al also found that 48% of sexual violence perpetrators were acquaintances, 26% of perpetrators were strangers, 16% of perpetrators were the father or stepfather, 14% were former partners or spouses with 12% being current partners, and 12% of perpetrators were siblings. The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition found that murder victims were mostly people of color who were poor and were transgender women. A study focusing on police reports following these attacks on transgender individuals found that 7.7% had been arrested unlawfully and another study found that 37% of individuals had been verbally abused by the police while others were physically assaulted 14%.

Transgender youth have higher rates in suicidal ideation, attempt, and self harm. Transgender women reported have higher rates for eating disorders 15.8% compare to their cis-gender counterparts with 1.85%.

The best solutions for these negative impacts is to have a community they are supportive of different identities especially crucial during childhood.
