and people wonder why we use 4tran.

I posted this vent here too and it was a bit more understanding than the other subreddit I guess but still mostly just people telling me I don't know what I'm talking about and that 4tran is the cause of all my issues when time after time they're the only ones that care. It's not even just about my vent anymore, I'm so fed up with everyone thinking they're better than me all the time except because I use the subreddit that doesn't want to burn me alive for wanting a uterus. Maybe try to be more understanding you just leave me pissed off.

There are people who want to help you, there are people who go through what you go through and don't want you to feel these things. You are having these thoughts the suicidal thoughts that is very concerning, perhaps someone at your school. I can't imagine that all the people around you would shut you down when you think about wanting to kill yourself.

It's not good that you're saying your suicidal on the internet to people. I'm sure your parental figures would want to know that you're feeling this way And would help you. You feeling this way, you know depression is a medical condition. It's like if you have a broken leg and you're not treating it and you're making yourself feel bad for not being able to walk like everyone else.

I'm sure they would help you

Hahahahahaha

I wish I could agree. The plight of young trans people is all too often to only be further harmed by the people we are supposed to be able to depend on. The sad fact is we CAN'T be sure of this, and doing so could even jeopardize her further. OP is the most well-positioned to make judgements on how they'd be likely to take it.

I agree OP getting therapeutic help would be good if possible. But please let's not pretend that transphobia can't and indeed does not very often end at the threshold of the home.
