“Transgender people are more likely to die by suicide after medically transitioning than before transitioning.”
Available evidence does not show suicide death becomes more likely after medical transition than before it. The studies most often cited for that claim compare transitioned people with the general population or other groups, not with their own pre-transition risk. Longitudinal research more often finds reduced suicidal ideation or attempts after gender-affirming care, while direct pre/post evidence on suicide deaths remains limited.
“Mississippi state agencies are legally required to report transgender people to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if their identification documents list a sex different from their sex assigned at birth.”
The evidence does not support any Mississippi legal requirement to report transgender people to ICE because their documents show a sex different from sex assigned at birth. The law’s immigration-cooperation language concerns suspected unlawful presence, while the sex-marker rule is a separate provision. Conflating those provisions creates a reporting mandate that the statute does not contain.
