really? They gave a greater than 50% suicide rate? Which it really encourage people not to be transgender then. It's dangerous.
The statistics I've seen say that transgenders have ~40% suicide rate. The ones that go through the full transition have >50% suicide rate.
What's it to you? If you're convinced that it's all due to their choices, then why do you care whether they kill themselves?
I care. I can't imagine the inner turmoil people go through for that to be the solution. One of my brothers committed suicide because of a mental disorder--not this disorder. His anguish was delusional, but real to him. And he couldn't help it on his own. If he'd have been able to get real help to challenge his delusions--you know, the traditional treatment for delusional disorders--perhaps he'd have been able to find happiness in living.
I can't help but believe gender disphoria is similar. People aren't killing themselves because of society. They're doing it because they can't cope with reality. And because of political correctness, the official treatment for gender disphoria is gender change. So the prescribed treatment results in an even higher suicide rate than the untreated? WTF? Why is the treatment not to gradually help cope with reality? That seems to be more effective with other non-politically correct treatments for delusional disorders. But THIS treatment is helping the person become their delusion.
Again, the suicide rate after treatment is higher than before! THAT'S NOT HELPING!
