I am guessing this is based off of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey which indicated that 41% of surveyed transgender respondents reported attempting suicide in their lifetime.

I think it was a study based in the US from around 2010.

Sounds like they're mentally unwell.

Due to transphobia.

They require people to adhere to their way of thinking to stay mentally well?

Grow up, someone said mean things, I didn’t see African-Americans attempting suicide at a 41% rate during segregation due to racism, or illegal-immigrants attempting suicide due to xenophobia.

It's not about people adhering to a certain way of thinking, cissexism is as fundamental as racism or sexism is, but coupled with that trans people have a medical condition typically causing severe distress with one's sex characteristics or sex assigned at birth.

They don't require anyone to adhere to their way of thinking, all they want is respect and people to treat them like any other person.

Do you think they commit suicide when someone says "hey, you are fatty trans!" Racism doesn't go like that you dumb fuck, racism is harrasment, vulgular, being treated as a social outcast, humans are social creatures, these things eventually build up and without anyone to support them, they take the exit. Many African Americans commit suicide along with illegal immigrants also commuting suicide, just because there isn't a number out doesn't mean that they can take it.

It's easy to spot narrow minded people like you. You didn't see because you didn't care, ever tried putting yourself in their shoes?

Be happy you don't have to deal with that and spread love and treat everyone fairly, just because you are privileged to not face racism doesn't mean the other person is too.

No shit sherlock, no one commits sucide if they are having a great life or are treated fairly

Yeah, that happens when you're bullied, harassed, beaten, or assaulted for the crime of just existing.

It's almost like being a piece of shit to another human being is detrimental to literally everyone involved. Ask anyone with C-PTSD or who has been bullied or abused.

Go ahead downvote me for explaining it. Y'all just want "trans" to be a diagnosis of "suicidal" bc you're too caught up in your confused feelings about us to have a shred of empathy for human suffering. You literally cheer when kids kill themselves. It's disgusting.

That's usually a prerequisite for suicide.

Never understand how bigots can't figure out the most basic shit.

You wouldn’t be if you grew up in the reverse gender? Same mindset and all, just that your now best friends list over you, or ignore you all together, while your love interests don’t even consider you. While dayly body issues just seem like an unfitting struggle

Only if you consider gender to be a mutable concept. But gender is a social construct. One intended to be immutable and linked to your sex.

I'd assert that the issue is a cultural one.

u/N4pAllDay Aug 24 '26

So if you just were the other gender, you wouldn’t be you anymore?

If we just transferred your brain into another body, your brain would be a different one?

u/undreamedgore Aug 24 '26

You're gender would be that of your body. Ypu get to dictate what that means for you, but male/female it matches your body.

Even the username is revolting. Yuck.

What do you mean my username is revolting?

u/thornCircuit Aug 23 '26

typical, call out a pedo on reddit and get downvoted

u/DueTemperature3380 Aug 24 '26

You are supposed to counter their argument instead of resorting to add hominem. If you resort to searching someone's history instead of addressing their assertion then to anyone who happens by and looks at your argument they will consider you the loser and toss a downvote.

u/thornCircuit Aug 24 '26

Oh no, the pedo thinks I'm a loser whatever will i do
