Our thanks to Gerry for this. A lengthy article, needless to say there’s no mention of the male suicide rate being so much higher than the female suicide rate across all ages.

Interesting indeed, as so little is reported on from the other Trans (woman to man) as the obsession is with trans “women”. The observations remind me of Self Made Man (lesbian jounalist passed as a man “Ned”). In a sense perfectly expectable given the “in group preferencing” of human female and the competition between of Males. I’m sure the evolutionary biologists would have much to point out.
Its interesting that in a couple of accounts by similarly “trans” man the “privileges” they claim to have found are all to do with a freedom from the tyranny of fashion and focus on appearances, and to be less “visible”. But of course being far less vain and dressing not to attract attention is perfectly possible for women without changing gender, but few seem able to do it.
Of course the situation is hardly helped by the incessant focus on the few men who do bad stuff, which I’m sure simply adds to the comparative isolation of males in our society. No wonder “he” experienced people avoiding him.
More women “attempt” suicide than men, yet men are the vast majority of actual suicides. It seems logical that those attempts are “cries for help” and women know such a cry will be heard. While men “know” that is unlikely.
