Comment on Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a form of Violence Given High Rates of Trans Suicides

  Experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and having low-moderate social support from any source was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation. Social support from family moderated the association between experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment and suicidal ideation (p interaction = 0.01); however, even in the presence of high family social support, experiencing certain forms of violence and harassment was associated with higher prevalence of suicidal ideation.

  n = 1608 on this one.

  Every study I’ve ever seen that looks at the link between social support and depression/suicidal thoughts in trans people shows a very clear link. Given the prevalence of transphobia in our society, this can entirely explain the increase in suicidal thoughts in trans people.

  So what’s the sample size?

  Also can you explain why that sample size isn’t valid? Lots of important refrenced studies all over have double digit sample sizes and are acceptable because of the context of the study.

    You can get a pretty good idea with a surprisingly small sample size, as long as your sampling isn’t biased in some way.

    N is the sample size.

      How big do you expect a study on 1% of people to be?
