It concerns me deeply that discussion of the vulnerability of children and young people who identify as transgender and experience suicide ideation or make attempts is not responsibly reported.
Although this is a blog, I have also seen many articles, interviews on television, and websites concerned with advocating for better rights for people, especially young people, which do not seem to be observing good practise.
This group of children and young people are very vulnerable.
Samaritans' guidance is clear and well established:
"Research has consistently shown links between certain types of media coverage of suicide and increases in suicidal behaviour among vulnerable people – if you are covering this topic please refer to our media guidelines or contact our media advisory team for help."
