Suicide is nothing to make light of, and affects people of any demographic.
Not every transgender person is prone to suicide. Many could be, but not all. Also, one thing to note is white males generally account for 65-70% of suicide deaths.
Just, a certain demographic more than others....right. To the tune of 40% of them. That's higher than any other demo by many multiples. Flying you and your family.
Mental health is examined when pilots receive their medical certificate to fly. I assume this person was cleared.
Also, considering how prevalent it is in society these days I assure you there's a decent chance you've been on a plane flown by someone who has suffered from depression…another precursor to suicidal tendencies.
