When politicians talk about how trans people are subhuman or deranged or biblically evil, it contributes to trans people being stigmatized and depressed. As a result of this culture of cruelty, many trans people end up committing suicide.
Where are the corporations firing these people? Just because trans teens sometimes commit suicide quietly behind closed doors does not make the violence somehow less terrible.
Well, there’s two ways of looking at it. One way is what you described. The other way is (it’s a discussion with monopoly opinions, not real currency, please no bully), trans people want something that’s impossible to get and are bound to be even more depressed after science has done what it can for them and left them a very unpleasing approximation that’s just good enough not to get sued for malpractice. So anti-trans people are, by mocking those shambolic attempts, actually in their eyes protecting future kids who would fall into the same trap.
Pretty sure its just hate and the vast majority of them don’t even know what medical science can do for a trans person. The vast majority of people who transition do not regret it which leads me to believe the treatment is more than some depressing impossible goal.
Gender reassignment surgery is still classified as “cosmetic surgery” in the US
And it has the lowest rate of regret of any cosmetic surgeries.
So it’s more likely a patient would regret a face lift or lip filler over chopping their dick or tits off.
It really puts it into perspective how popular and reliable these procedures are for affirming people’s gender
Sure, if you just want to chill with a book and a cat and your new titties and don’t care about how other people view you. But since social media sets the standards, being attractive is a depressing impossible goal for vast majority of both sexes. Is the high rate of suicides even a given, as the title of this post claims?
How is wanting to exist and living their life impossible to achieve?
Unless you mean it is impossible because of those narrow minded folks who still think that they want to change to something they aren’t already.
All they want is their right to exist without being told of being not valid.
For those who kill themselves? Because that’s what we’re talking about. The initial argument is about high rates of suicides. OP’s second sentence directly says those rates are a result of a culture of cruelty. What I’m saying is someone who is anti-trans will say the high suicide rates are because it’s impossible to change one’s sex. All the happy non-suicided trans people living their life are not even the object of this discussion.
And there’s a third way of looking at it, where people who shouldn’t have an opinion about it at all are suddenly full of right-wing talking points that don’t align with science and reality.
