Unfortunately I can’t find it again, because it was such an interesting and surprising bit of data, but I read a study some years ago that split trans people up into three categories, and compared the rate of suicide among them:

in the closet out, and reported being supported overall by their community/peers after coming out out, and reported being unsupported overall by their community/peers after coming out

I’m referring to this horseshit, you deceptive transphobic dumbass.

Lets look at what I can find:

Further, consistent with minority stress theory, other quantitative and qualitative studies with trans participants have also identified some protective factors for suicidality, namely social support, transitioning, and resilience (McCann et al., 2021; McNeil et al., 2017; Moody et al., 2015). The qualitative study of written responses to open-ended online questions from 133 trans adults—with and without histories of suicidality—in Canada conducted by Moody et al. (2015) identified protective experiences for trans individuals such as self-acceptance, coping skills, and individual reasons for living. Thus, the existing literature suggests that individual, social, and structural factors are relevant for understanding suicide risk and prevention in the trans community.

Sources, or are you just pulling all of that out of your ass?

Yeah, I know the bitch spent $100 on something for him when I was prostituting myself to afford $60 for Pearson’s fucking chemistry question textbook.

He’s slightly intellectually disabled (if she had permitted him to have an education, he’d probably be normal) and she was obsessed with him. His sexuality was something that was very “open” to the family, like we all knew about his Megan Fox poster with a hole in it (which she bought for him) and the used tissues in his room were… excessive. Never cleaned up, could smell it in my room.

At one point he chased me and my younger sister around the house waving his penis at us.

I experienced something complicated from her, which toes the line around sexual abuse but isn’t as direct as “she diddled me.”

I’m of course the black sheep and have zero contact with anyone other than my sister now for having pointed out how weird/abusive the family dynamics were…

Part of what the alt right and Trump supporters have done is to renormalize using that slur. It’s important to recognize that it’s usage is part of the “backlash” and not something a good person should say.

I watched it with a buddy in college. We had basically a game of showing each other the most fucked up shit we could find - exploitation films like Stalag 69 or a documentary about some danish woman who had a farm were she fucked animals. We both found it ultimately kind of boring compared to the other stuff, even lazy exploitation films which would recycle the same 5 minutes of footage for half of their runtime.

Your comparison to a strained shit is apt. It’s trying it’s damnedest to offend, but it’s the same vibe as a middle schooler in a hentai hoodie telling dead baby jokes.

Threads does sound interesting, I’ve been recommended it multiple times before.

The description reminds me of the Notebook Trilogy of novels. Also a “how the fuck do we cope with what happened in eastern front world war 2” story. Has a couple scenes that are the only times I’ve ever had to put down a book. (The video game Mother 3 takes some inspiration from these novels - the main characters are named Klaus and Lucas)

“See a therapist” is just worthless advice, especially when it’s unsolicited.

Therapy is not free and getting insurance to cover it can be a nightmare. Waiting lists can be ridiculous. You can live in an area where there’s basically no good therapists - where your options are someone who wont do much other than print off CBT worksheets, or worse, unethical shit like conversion therapy if you are queer.

Some people have also been severely traumatized by their experiences with therapists and the mental health care system. (“Quit your job to make your abusive husband happy!”)

At least 25 states, including big districts like New York City and Chicago. Even internationally.

Schools in the US stopped teaching phonics.

I’m not an EU citizen - how does one report things to the EU?

Tumblr has been outright allowing public death threats against trans people, describing hope for mass slaughters, and this shit for a while now. They don’t take anything down when reported; they’ll go after random trans people’s accounts though.

Anyone interested in “TERF Takes” really needs to be paying attention to Tumblr. I am genuinely concerned it is going to radicalize a teenager into killing someone.

The UK doesn’t ban Holocaust denial.

I do think it’s fucked that platforms like Tumblr and Twitter allow this. I’ve seen multiple similar posts which conflate the Weimer Republic’s policies of issuing “transvestite passes” with Nazi policies. The Nazis revoked those passes and used them to hunt and kill trans people.
