If discrimination alone is enough to cause trans people to commit suicide, how come we don't see other minority groups(who've faced a lot worse)have higher suicide rates?

"Dysphoria" is self-loathing and we're telling them that they're right, they should hate themselves, and they need to change their sex to get "better." Which of course is impossible, we are our bodies and our bodies are sexed, so eventually the house of cards must fall... and when it does they off themselves.

It's not self-loathing. At least it shouldn't be. But it may look like it because of the new influx of people who think gender is a social construct and even an identity.

You absolutely not your body though. That doesn't even make logical sense. You're falling for matrix deceptions. But it doesn't matter in this case, because gender identity isn't real, so any gender dysphoria stems from the flesh just like any other disability.
