As evidenced by this article, it is published at least on occasion. The implication and burden is commonly placed on LGB people for, what was it, “not fucking them.” A frequently repeated lie on social media, publications, and also academia, as well as in real life circles and which has translated to actual violence in the real world against LGB people by TRA (not just trans people, TRA are anyone who is an extremist with a specific world view about trans topics).

Now when it comes from normal incels and not trans ones- everyone can spot the abuse tactic and realize it’s not so harmless given the several manifestos and terrorist attacks. But the second its by trans people or their supporters, despite making false claims with no evidence (we somehow “cause their high suicide rates”), for example. Why are we always expected to sit by quietly to be pushovers who cater to their every unstable need? There are trans people out there who are mentally ill who DO NOT threaten suicide, because they aren’t abusive sacks of shit. While I don’t think we share much in common, I am happy to coexist with those people. As for these ones ^ I will continue to point out this is an abuse tactic no matter who it is by, it is not trans exclusive nor is it something only mentally ill people do, I am numb to abusers because I have known some and witnessed many more in online spaces. An unfortunate circumstance of youth, that is corrected by not feeling the emotional manipulation abusers seek to force on you while feeling no such emotions themselves, otherwise they might have the guilt not to lie and manipulate people for their own gain.

Sometimes I have also had straight friends and family members come to me and ask “what the fuck is this threatening suicide shit I see online so much by these types of people” [you’re a lesbian so you must know whats going on in LGBT being the implication here] and I answer.
