Yesterday I argued and posted the idea that people who transition have higher suicide rates. Ive since learnt this was some bullcrap that was peddled a few years back purposefully misinterpreting a Dutch study.

So they you go. The more you learn. Hopefully this stops other people being as ignorant as I was yesterday. Apologies for anyone I may have offended by peddling fake news I genuinely thought was real.

good on you for owning up to it, because for many others, if they knew it was untrue, they'd continue pushing the same arguments due to their prejudices.

misinterpreting a Dutch study.

What was the study, and what did they conclude?

I swear earlier today I saw a topic on CE along the lines of "Does anyone on CE ever admit they are wrong?" Followed by the context of everyone online wants the last word always, and finding someone who can admit to a mistake or being wrong is rare.

Conclusion:

Conclusions
We observed no increase in suicide death risk over time and even a decrease in suicide death risk in trans women. However, the suicide risk in transgender people is higher than in the general population and seems to occur during every stage of transitioning. It is important to have specific attention for suicide risk in the counseling of this population and in providing suicide prevention programs.

Does it list the final stats? Like actual numbers?

Thanks.
So higher suicide rates across the board, but not because of the actual act of transitioning.

Sad people that can't find their place in life are sad because they can't find their place in life, shocking research lol.

The real answer is that we can help lower suicide rates by not being an asshole to people. It's amazing.

"Can't find their place in life" is a weird way of saying "are denied basic human rights at every turn"

why wouldn't transphobia have some effect on whether some trans people attempted/committed suicide and/or some other forms of self-harm?

other forms of societal/cultural grief can lead to different groups of people doing the same.

He wishes to deny his part in the circle of people hurting one another. Words can be a weapon scamatoru. You can't tell me you've never had someone say something to you that hurt you.

I still say "look at the suicides and depression, clearly [Thing] is bad!" is a bullshit argument no matter what the stats are

Same thing happened to minorities and homosexuals and those rates plummeted once you stop being dicks to them

high suicide from a persecuted class just shows how bad society is, not the victims
