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.
Yes, this is their intention. You know that right? They want to unalive them without going to jail. So the plan is to get them to do it to themselves.
Yes.
A hate crime that apparently carries 0 consequences across the globe. We live in a fucked up world

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.

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.

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.

That’s absurd. Nobody outside of academia is going to take that seriously.
Everyone in academics knows that violence has more forms than physical. You should probably catch up to the high school understanding of it.
Everyone in and out of academics knows labeling speech “violent” is an attempt to get it censored. Stop being naïve.
Well it’s a good thing all those academics get listened to by the general public when they say that shit. Highly effective, clearly everyone is enthralled.

Why so violent?
LatinX. That’s how well your academic language works.
You seem to put the onus of trans killing themselves on everyone around them and not the inner turmoil of their own minds.
I got my dream job offer rescinded two weeks ago BECAUSE I AM TRANS.
I have experienced sexual violence BECAUSE I AM TRANS.
I am terrified of being pulled over by a cop and institutionalized or incarcerated because the government says that my license is wrong now.
The problem is not my mental state. The problem is the discrimination.
If I killed myself, it would to be to avoid becoming homeless - because, like many trans people, there are substantial barriers to employment. It doesn’t matter if the Supreme Court said it’s illegal to fire people for being trans, it fucking happens.
My mental health would be peachy fucking keen if I were not part of the marginalized minority group that the government is so slavering to make a target that they tried to pretend the Kirk shooter carved trans propaganda into his bullets! They want to kill us or institutionalize us - how the fuck would your mental health be if you were walking around with a target on your back?
If you had to experience excruciating levels of gender dysphoria, hate and animosity – often coming from your own family –, maybe you would think differently…
It’s not just verbal either, there is a real chance of non-passing trans people getting followed or even beaten up, especially in the evenings/nights. And yes, in the “civilised” west.
Jeez what do you think causes that inner turmoil
This is a cis-white dude that has never felt any real discrimination in his life
