Suicide is a choice of some individuals and there is a rumor that as many as nine transgender children (some adult children) died by suicide or attempted suicide the night Donald Trump was elected President.

 

The rumor debunking site Snopes "were unable to substantiate that any transgender children attempted or [died by] suicide on the night of 8 November 2016 in reaction to the election results or for another reason. No names, dates, locations, or other information along those lines have been presented, and those sharing versions of the rumor were not themselves parties to the purported tragedies. In the absence of any additional information, the claim remains unsubstantiated."
