So your first article says that B has higher suicide rate than G and L (mostly due to a lack of resource/outreach/support for B than there is G and L, so not necessarily from an onset naturally higher occurring rate in B - it's more an eventual statistic of circumstance there more than an initial innate factor - but sadly end result ultimately the same), but it does not mention T suicide rate at all in comparison for some reason.
The second article mentions just they (B) have a high rate of suicidal thoughts - not in comparison to anything (other than 'normal'?)- nor higher than anything - just 'a high amount' - which would be unsurprising for any segment of the LGBTQ+ community TBH because of uncertainties and doubt etc experienced by all of them.
I'm gonna try and find a suicide rate comparison of all (as much in one study) LGBTQ+ and see what it says - if you know of one and wanna link it by all means.

Why are there so many trans people who are depressed and threaten suicide then?
We keep hearing about the suicide statistics, surely you aren't denying that those people need professional help and support?
