    Well said. Suicide is a serious thing, and this is why I get angry when people use suicide as a way to emotionally manipulate other people.

    What bothers me most about the trans suicide narrative is that it pins the blame on people not going along with the trans narrative instead of examining the idea that gender transition often ends up not addressing or treating the underlying causes of these people's emotional distress. Thus, they end up paying the high personal cost of a transition that doesn't bring them the happiness they were promised.

    Pro tip: if they do this, compare the suicide rates to blacks. Anyone who believes in this TRA nonsense will also most likely believe that the US is a white supremacist nation and so forth. Then, you say "Hey, if blacks live a white supremacist nation with police that are just on the march to kill them at any chance they get and whites out to oppress and marginalize them wherever they can; why do they have magnitudes lower suicide rates than trans people?"

    You can swap out another minority group if you want, but it just helps them get on the back foot.
