nicklebro posted...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? 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. COVxy posted... nicklebro posted...No one did that. The Admiral posted... 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. shockthemonkey posted...

I would say that societal acceptance plays a larger role in trangender depression than gender dysphoria does, though obviously some cases are more severe than others. If the societal pressure to conform to gender norms weren't there, transitioning would be a significantly less stressful process. I haven't fully transitioned myself, but from my understanding, even after transitioning a lot of people might still have some ongoing issues with dysphoria, but they've significantly alleviated by HRT/SRS. What you're not factoring in here is that even if they themselves are not the targets of transphobic discrimination, they're still going to see it in their day to day lives. It's not exactly a safe, welcoming feeling. --- Jam is acceptable. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Lol so you're doing exact what I said you're doing, literally acting as if the logic between these two things is similar at all. Fact is I don't believe black people are to blame for their higher arrest rates, but I do believe that being trans makes you more susceptible to suicide. So your argument just completely feel apart. You don't seem to grasp that there's more reason to commit suicide than just being bullied. Your also completely ignorant of the science on the subject. You should probably do a bit more research rather than trying to paint me as a racist because I happen to think that being trans is hard enough to lead to increased suicide rates lmao. --- Now you can't call me a sigless user. ...

Why cant we blame why they were bullied? is not a good look and never will be. No one is blaming the transgender kid here... It's not the kid's fault that she was born trans, and it's most certainly not her fault she was bullied. However, the combination of those two makes it significantly more likely that something like this will happen, and I think that's important for people in positions of authority to be aware of. --- - The Admiral ...

So does being trans put you at a higher risk of suicide or not? Yes, along with all the other factors that covary with trans to produce that end increased odds ratio that you are referring to. Who knows how much of that odds ratio is due to trans or those other factors, because people haven't actually done that analysis.

i will admit after taking a step back and re-reading everything
i seem to have misunderstood but it's really a surface-level perception OBVIOUSLY someone with mental disorders/illnesses will have a higher rate of suicide. The PROBLEM seems to stem here that some appear to be suggesting that bullying was not a significant factor in the suicide. If you REALLY think bullying had little to do with their unfortunate suicide, then I seriously worry for you. But at the same time, if you REALLY think trans people are just prone to committing suicide without outside stimuli and think bullying has little-to-no effect on peoples psyche (as well as living in an environment constantly hostile to you), I have to wonder about you --- ...

I never stated that the statistics would give causality (though, there are several forms of statistics that try to get at this, structural equation modelling for data like this and granger causality analysis for time based data), but parse out the independent contributions of each factor to the increased suicide risk.

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'd say a small factor, but that's just my opinion on a vague hypothetical situation. I mean if they're just bullied one time and then kill themselves, I'd have to guess that the other factors were far more to blame.
