Factors with More Scientific Evidence for Increased Risk of Suicide than Not Getting "Gender Affirming Care" as a Child.

[Seymour Flops]

One of them is growing up in a single-parent household. Children of single moms is a much larger group than children whose moms say that they are "trapped in the wrong body." Maybe that is something Democrats should focus on instead of being so desperate for the mental disorder of Gender Dysphoria to be treated with hormones and scapals.

Lone-parent children at higher risk of suicide, says study

Children growing up in lone-parent households are at significantly greater risk of committing suicide, having a psychiatric illness, or suffering from a drug-related disease, a study suggests.

This is from the CDC, not known to be an MAGA, Religious Right organization. Notice that "lack of access to gender affirming care" did not make the list:

Circumstances that increase suicide risk
Individual Risk Factors

These personal factors contribute to risk:

• Previous suicide attempt
• History of depression and other mental illnesses
• Serious illness such as chronic pain
• Criminal/legal problems
• Job/financial problems or loss
• Impulsive or aggressive tendencies
• Substance use
• Current or prior history of adverse childhood experiences
• Sense of hopelessness
• Violence victimization and/or perpetration

Relationship Risk Factors

These harmful or hurtful experiences within relationships contribute to risk:

• Bullying
• Family/loved one’s history of suicide
• Loss of relationships
• High conflict or violent relationships
• Social isolation

Community Risk Factors

These challenging issues within a person’s community contribute to risk:

• Lack of access to healthcare
• Suicide cluster in the community
• Stress of acculturation
• Community violence
• Historical trauma
• Discrimination

Societal Risk Factors

These cultural and environmental factors within the larger society contribute to risk:

• Stigma associated with help-seeking and mental illness
• Easy access to lethal means of suicide among people at risk
• Unsafe media portrayals of suicide

Risk and Protective Factors | Suicide | CDC

Suicide is rarely caused by a single factor. Many factors at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels can increase risk or protect against it.

There is no evidence at all of increased suicide rates in people who do not get gender affirming care as children. The studies often cited and used by gender specialists to frighten parents are all non-scientific self-selection surveys about suicidal ideation, not about actual suicide.

Women that start off as single-mothers have already failed at life so I don't know why we would expect any different from their spawn. They start off behind the 8-ball.

I'd be interested if there is a "study" out there somewhere that analyzes the percentage chances of upward societal movement of the spawn of single-mothers against those of a two-parent (man & woman) upbringing.

I don't care about one-off examples.

Turns out that there is:

Methods​

We analysed data from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study including birth, child welfare clinic and school healthcare records from people born in Helsinki, Finland, between 1934 and 1944. Using a unique personal identification number, we linked these data to information on adult socioeconomic position from census data at 5-year intervals between 1970 and 2000, obtained from Statistics Finland.

Results​

Compared to children of married mothers, children of unmarried mothers were more likely to have lower educational attainment and occupational status (odds ratio for basic vs. tertiary education 3.40; 95 % confidence interval 2.17 to 5.20; for lowest vs. highest occupational category 2.75; 1.92 to 3.95). They were also less likely to reach the highest income third in adulthood and more likely to stay unmarried themselves. The associations were also present when adjusted for childhood socioeconomic position.

Conclusion​

Being born to an unmarried mother, in a society where marriage is the norm, is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage throughout life, over and above the disadvantage associated with childhood family occupational status. This disadvantage may in part mediate the association between low childhood socioeconomic position and health in later life.

Background Growing up with one parent is associated with economic hardship and health disadvantages, but there is limited evidence of its lifetime consequences. We examined whether being born to an unmarried mother is associated with socioeconomic position and marital history over the lifespan...

This is from Finland, so no racial factors come into play. The prevelance of fatherlessness among Black Americans has become a spiral in which blacks are less economically successful and thus more prone to crime, following a childhood in which no one taught the boys to be men and no one taught the girls how to expect a man to treat her.
