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.

    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.

      more than some depressing impossible goal.

      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?

      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
