Makes sense that suicide rates are higher among a population that has more mental health issues tbh
So surely...the answer to this is not surgery(after which, suicide rate actually goes up) and pretending that they actually are the sex they want to be? The solution is therapy...or that should be the start at the very least. But therapy is 'gatekeeping' and transactivists fight against this also. Mental.
A disproportionate amount of FTM trans people have been sexually abused. This also needs looking into and researched. I think its obvious that someome who has been abused might find life as the opposite sex quite appealing, if they think they would be safer that way.
Also a lot of people who are trans have autism or conditions like that..the link is getting cleaer and clearer. Something else that needs looked into and not just written off as 'transphobic nonsense'
Many many people who have undergone hormones and/or surgery regret it and want to 'change back'. This is important research but research thats NOT ALLOWED to be done. Seriously. Looking into that is also deemed transphobic...and instead we have to pretend that detransitioners do not exist. |
I'm sorry. I mean, maybe there is some truth in this but this is beyond my comprehension. I can not accept that transexuals are mainly suffering from mental illness and past abuse. Transsexualism is not a and must never be seen as a mental condition or a condition of circumstance.
