The correlation does hold up, and strongly. Suicide is not a univariant phenomenon, and so there are variations between states but the most trans-friendly states are seeing a rise in self harm and suicide as they grow increasingly supportive of those living out gender dysphoria. Your fake correlation of suicide rates in supportive versus less-supportive states only works if you cherry-pick your data points. For instance, Colorado has a high level of support and also one of the highest levels of suicide in the 10-14 age group.That's a narrow time slice and age range. For example, suicide rates by teens fell between 1995 and 2000 (see table below). That certainly was not from decreased acceptance of dysphoria. Further, the states that are the most trans-friendly have the lowest rates of suicide.

Your correlation does not hold up over a longer period of time, or comparing state-by-state.
The reality is that those pushing this type of acceptance are in a cult. It is a popular cult but it is still a cult. The mysticism of it being possible for a girl to be trapped in a mans body or vice versa relies on the same woo-woo-bull of magical deities that exist beyond the physical. There is a girl's body in the girl's body because that body is all there is. The XY chromosomes are in all the cells and the organism is structured to make ova gametes. It makes zero difference that the girl brain on a particular girls is drawn to fashion choices, or wants to be called by a name, or thinks the grass is greener, or whatever. Humans are arguably the most adaptable animal that has ever existed, and it is sick to twist that ability into creating an adaptation that will result in that individual leaving the gene pool.
