Recent data show that the already‑high suicide‑attempt rate among transgender people isn’t stabilising – it’s nudging upward. In the United States a 2026 update from the UCLA Williams Institute’s TransPop survey puts the lifetime attempt prevalence at ≈ 44 %, a modest rise from the 42 % reported in 2024. Globally, the WorldMetrics 2026 “Transgender Suicidality & Mortality” report estimates ≈ 30 % of transgender adults have ever attempted suicide, with the number climbing by about 1 percentage‑point per year (so roughly 34 % by 2030), however the prevalence is still far above the cisgender baseline (≈ 7 % lifetime attempt rate) and is trending upward, not downward. If the current policy and health‑care environment stays the same, we can expect the global figure to edge into the mid‑50 % range by the early 2030s.
