Weird how you still haven't managed to list a single comparable example of how statistics would give us precise %s on what determines our behavior. It's almost as if even if that were scientifically possible, that it would take more than statistics to determine.


I gave you an example of the exact same statistical logic.

You guys do know that non-trans bully victims often commit suicide too, right

It's kind of dumb to not blame bullies

Absolutely.

And its kind of dumb to put the majority blame on one or the other when literally not a single one of us knows the details.

Just out of curiosity...Why does it keep saying 12-year-old teen?

Because he also identified as a 19 year old.

Regardless you already admitted that being trans puts you are a higher risk for suicide so idk why in wasting anymore time on you. You had your chance to contribute to this topic, you did a bad job.

Your entire argument is lets blame trans people even if we cant figure out if its their fault.

Which is a really shitty stance to take as a direct response to a kid being bullied till they kill themselves.

Lmao now you're accusing me of blaming trans people? I'm the one that's explaining why it isn't their fault! How in the world can any of my posts be interpreted as blaming trans people? I'm flat out saying their condition is one of the driving forces behind their astronomical suicide rates. You're the one claiming that bullying is the only reason they commit suicide, so for every trans person who isnt bullied yet still commits suicide, you're putting 100% of the blame on them personally. That's a horrible thing to say and you really need to stop it. Idk why you hate trans people so much but you need to cut it out because they're some of the most vulnerable people in our society and they need our help. Not just with stopping bullying and making them feel accepted in society, but in dealing with the complications of their condition, which is something you want to ignore completely.

Because we know that transgender people exist in California and Portland where they're basically worshipped like gods.

You've never even been to Portland
and California is a gigantic fucking state with incredibly varying opinions
go back to sleep DE it's the only time you're bearable


I have been to both places and I know what I'm talking about.

Bullies are pieces of ****
Even if you disagree with transgender issues or whatever doesnt give you the right to bully anyone or treat them like crap.

Bullying really needs to be taken far more seriously. All too often it can lead to results like this. It can be more many reasons so where the hell do people come off with blaming the victim just because they were trans?

The Admiral's claim has never been shown empirically, as far as I know. And he cannot produce a publication that says otherwise.

Seems like you might want to look elsewhere for the ones determining truths and falsities through dogma.

Pick one.


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."

I kind of agree. Try changing schools or talking to a teacher before killing yourself, Cmon. But I don't know what they went through so who's to say.

I completely agree with you that there is a negative feedback cycle. But unlike some attributes kids are bullied for that are just "different," transgenderism is a medical disorder. Even if the trans person is fully accepted, they need to deal with the issue of having a physical body that will never match what their brain would like it to be. Even surgery and transitioning are highly imperfect, as most MtF don't come close to being passable. The elevated depression and suicide rates will always be there until a real cure is found.

Yeah, we need to treat them better, like all people with non-depressive disorders, so they are all less likely to develop depression that can lead to suicide. Trans people just happen to have it the worst. When I said different, I didn't just mean watching anime or listening to ICP. I meant born different from the norm. This isn't to say that people with disorders do not need their own therapy, but we can stop treating them like shit to not add on to their troubles.

So it is not a mental illness, but you think it inherently makes them much more likely to kill themselves? That makes even less sense.

Gender dysphoria is, yes.

You're saying the whole is, and then not expanding upon what reason you would have to present that bit of information.

Where does this idea lead and why bringing it up is relevant.

It always fascinates me that people think that denying treatment for those that know they need it is a good idea. One might wonder if that would contribute to the depressions that lead to suicide by itself. No way to know because fortunately that plan will never be implemented, but it certainly makes you wonder what those people are thinking and what kind of grounding in reality that they have.

You dont have any room to talk about reality after making up bullshit and then posting a study that in no way supported your claims, all while completely ignoring what trans people actually say.

I was a dnd playing gothlite kid from CA in a small town AL redneck highschool in the early 90's. I neither abandoned my trend (until my early 20's) nor contemplated suicide. I got in plenty of fights but it all stopped after the bullies figured out that I'd fight back with plenty of enthusiasm.
