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.

    If it’s true, you should be able to rebut opposing views like “suicide rates are elevated in every population defined by symptoms of mental illnesses including gender dysphoria, it’s not specific to trans people”

    The anti-trans rethoric is incredibly harmful.

    The pro-trans rhetoric may also be harmful!
