Transgender people have an alarmingly high suicide rate. It appears that about 40% of transgender people attempt suicide, while anorexia results in death for about 4% of those afflicted.

Note that suicide attempts and death are not 1:1. I expect the rate of suicide deaths is still higher than 4% in transgender people, but it isn't the same as the attempt rate.
