Here's the facts. Bullying increases the likely hood of committing suicide. So does being trans. Why is it ok to acknowledge one and not the other?

because you're being incredibly callous and saying "oh it's to be expected just look at the factors"
instead of feeling "oh that's sad we shouldn't bully people"

it's a nerd logic thing that drives normal people up the wall
don't feel too bad other people don't understand

Pretty sure you're the ones ignoring just how hard it is to be a trans person. By your logic, if a trans person isn't being bullied then they should have no reason to commit suicide. See I want to help trans people and stop bullying, you want to ignore trans people's challenges and just stop bullying. That's wrong.

No one did that.


Did you read the post Admiral made that you are defending? He's clearly trying to set the case for the condition itself being the cause of the increased suicide risk.

I'm sure the bullying was a factor in this suicide, and that's terrible,


There, that's him saying bullying contributed. Are you suggesting that being trans had nothing to do with this suicide at all? Cuz the science disagrees with you.

Why cant we blame why they were bullied? is not a good look and never will be.

You seem to be missing the point that even with 0 bullying Trans people are still at a higher risk for suicide than non trans people.
