It's not clear that it's only a societal vulnerability. Studies in highly open societies like Norway, Iceland and Finland also indicate very high suicide rates in the LGBT with transsexual individuals being the highest at risk even for that group.

This also extended to cases of coming out early, having all the support and acceptance one can get from their immediate family and the community.

My own personal opinion is that which ever genetic expression cause the gender and sexual disassociation also could lead to higher predisposition to suicide.
