To me i feel like the majority of people don't want trans people to kill themselves, and can be some what sympathetic with their depression, but when it started getting crazier with demanding to be into women's bathrooms,locker rooms,sports,etc, and the whole "We can't say pregnant women anymore"language control that's when stuff became too much.

Of course, which is the problem when it becomes "they're weaponizing suicide rates to get what they want, effectively saying 'if you don't give me my way I'll really do it!", and no one has the guts to call their bluff because...well, what monster would call their bluff? Better to give them their way...

Sometimes you have to call the bluff. A friend of my best friend habitually threatens suicide over minor shit and she just took to telling him “ok” because she knew it was a cry for attention.

I'm sure she would be showered with affection if she did that though. And her friend would be shrugged off even if things were real for him. Because people only care about women.

Nobody wants anyone to kill themselves, but they also can’t hold anyone responsible except themselves, and the fact that they try to hold everyone else responsible is what people are taking exception to.

Unfortunately, we probably have 13 Reasons Why to blame for suicidal people thinking they can freely do that.

Yeah it certainly has a hysteria level that's off the charts. Wonder what's next. Anyway, did this trend much? I don't use twitter a lot but it seemed like a small crowd.
