He keeps mentioning the suicide rate of trans people, but he never considers that it could be societies treatment of trans people that accounts for the higher suicide rate. If it were, then we would have seen similar suicide rates with gays the past few decades, right? But we didn't. Ditto with black people; whites have always committed suicide at a higher rate than the unarguably most oppressed class in US history. So Ben's 100% correct. There is an element to gender dysphoria that confers a high suicide rate. That's kinda simplifying different groups struggles to "the struggle" though, different groups have different experiences in society. The number may not be 40%, but many of those groups have higher suicide rates than the "norm". I'm not saying that having to reconcile having a man's body but feeling like a woman doesn't cause mental stress, but I think to attribute the suicide rate solely to just being trans is wrong. --- Gt: justaguy3492 <cite>justaguy3492 posted [p:884088614] in Ben Shapir...
