You're all making jokes about how obvious this is, however I would argue that it's still a very important thing to study and an important thing to say.

So many people pull out the suicide statistics of trans people, and for anyone with a brain, would understand that the rates of suicide are so high is because of the ratio of people who hate them simply for existing. How many times can you be told to fucking kill yourself before you do, huh?

This study validates that not telling kids to kill themselves, and and having loving parents is the "secret" to bringing down rates of depression and suicide.

So for everyone with a brain this is pretty god damned obvious, it's sad that it needs to be said, but it does still need to.
