Reality is that these people have a medical disorder and the associated depression that comes with there not being a real cure. Acceptance and medication can only go so far, but the disorder is persistent, which we see in the extreme suicide rates. People that act differently are more likely to be bullied. People that are bullied, mistreated, abused are more likely to kill themselves. Does that mean everyone that is born different was born with depression? I considered killing myself in high school several times. Does that mean part of the blame should be on the "associated depression" that comes with autism and social anxiety? I'm not going to argue with you that gender dysphoria is not a serious disorder. I'm going to argue with you that gender dysphoria is not just another word for depression or that it's a package deal, but rather that disorders make you a prime target to develop depression due to how they change your environment. Being transgender is about as different from the norm as you can be and that makes them targets. You need a better argument than "being abnormal makes you more likely to kill yourself." --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:899280351] in 12 y/o bul...
