The primary reason their suicide rates are so high are people such as yourself who dismiss them as confused and in need of treatment, you total sack of crap. You have absolutely no idea what it's like to be these people.
That is a complete lie. They are suicidal because they’re confused and if you look at the studies even after they try to change the gender they are still suicidal and depressed. I am reporting your post because it was a direct insult which is against the terms of service. If you actually read my post instead of being woke you would see how much compassion I have for these people. But you don’t care about the truth you just want to virtual signal and show how “tolerant” you are. It’s not tolerant to tell people that they are whatever they want to be, It’s perpetuating a lie simply so you can feel good about yourself. It’s all about you, shame on you!
Report away.
I could care less about political correctness and keeping up appearances of tolerance. I hate hypersensitive PC culture. I don't wear tie-dye and go to protests. Like an absolute tool fantasizing in your own head, you're assuming my position and you're assuming it dead wrong.
Here's the thing: I have a couple of friends who are trans and are vastly happier now than they were when they were younger...one I have known for 20 years. They are great people. They are not suicidal or crazy. Their depression has virtually disappeared after transitioning. They feel like they are finally themselves. It certainly doesn't hurt that they are woman-to-man transitions and you would never guess that they used to be women, but of course the reason that actually helps is that it protects them from the savagely depressing judgement that others deal with on a daily basis.
To dismiss trans people as categorically confused and in need of help is utterly ridiculous. I'm not defending a political agenda, I'm defending people I know and love. Take your accusations of "virtue signalling" and shove them where they belong.
I don't think that anybody is hating on trans, I hope that they can all find peace and happiness within themselves as your friends did. With this said, there are a few things that bother me about the transgender initiative:
- The alarming high suicide rates - Stats do not lie, if one group is offing themselves at a rate 20+ times the average. It's like you trying to convince me that Shaq is a good free throw shooter because he hit 2 FTs in a row, but what about the overall stats? If they are all totally happy and not confused, why this alarmingly high suicide rate?
- Parents pushing children into switching - This is mental and physical child abuse imo. Kids don't know any better and should not be subjected to this, even worse they're now starting to teach this stuff in early education so that kids could become woke from kindergarten, grade 1 or whatever. Kids are not smart or wise enough to be aware of who they should be or make these kinds of decisions, heck most don't even know if they're gay/lesbian until reaching puberty. At least the gay or lesbian are determined by genetics, that is who they are by genetic makeup.
As we know, depression is a real problem in society today, notably with the younger generation as well. What we don't want to do is falsely presenting them with an "escape route", for them become happier when this is not necessarily the most viable avenue. *please refer back to the alarmingly high suicide rates amongst members of this community.
- Biological males competing as females - Does this need further debate? Just look at records are being smashed and female competitors getting demolished in physical or combat sports.
I work with the military and there are a few trans members, I have no issues with them. I treat them professionally and with the respect that they deserve, however I will never acknowledge them as a person from a different gender because they are not. I acknowledge them as being trans.
If I met a nice looking trans female at a bar, I could quite possibly be fooled and start to flirt with "her". Once "she" let me be aware that "she" is trans, and this better be way before the bedroom, I would simply tell "her", "It was nice talking to you, have a good evening." Simple as that, no problems there just a little bit of time wasted by me not being able to interact with real women as intended but it's all good. Please don't guilt me for not accepting "her" as a female because she's not one. I'm cool with this as long as we're all on the same page understanding the reality of the situation.
