In a CNN town hall, Nikki Haley falsely linked transgender athletes and teen girls’ suicidal ideation. Researchers have found no connection between trans athletes and rising rates of teen girls who considered suicide.
that about half of transgender and nonbinary young people have seriously considered suicide in the past year.
Haley said trans youth should receive therapy and other help, but"don't go and cause all these other kids to feel like that pressure’s on them." Recent federal data shows a troubling level of suicidal ideation by teen girls. However, Haley’s causal connection between transgender athletes and rising teen suicidal ideation among girls is unsupported.
"We know a lot about risk factors for suicide, epidemiologically and from surveying youth themselves," said Carl Fleisher, medical director of the Boston Child Study Center in Los Angeles."On top of that list are things like poverty, childhood abuse, untreated mental illness, identifying as LGBTQ+, social consequences of the pandemic, etc.
