Another critical premise of the "trans affirming" argument is that trans people commit suicide because society doesn't accept them. By not affirming trans, this theory says, we kill them when they commit suicide because of society's failure to accept them.

That premise is radically false. The truth is that any person commits suicide because he/she does not accept himself/herself. The universal root of suicide is self rejection.

Once you realize this fallacy, the implications are huge. By encouraging trans ideation, the mob is encouraging behavior which emphasizes self-rejection.

The suicide problem will not only not get better by normalizing trans, it will become exponentially worse. The more people you encourage to hate their natural form, the more suicides you are causing. The people affirming trans are motivating suicides, believing they are doing the opposite.

Satan hit the jackpot with this strategy.

Trans is suicide already. I reject and kill the former self and choose a new identity going forward? The only difference is when (on the calendar) they go to Hell.

No, the kill the former self is the cult element - cults kill your past and give you a new name.

Yup, that trans kill themselves without transitioning is a lie. They kill themselves after transitioning. A 30-year study says ten to 15 years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to 20 times that of comparable peers.

Spot on on the self-rejection = suicide. Self-acceptance = mental wellness. The psychological industry knows that, the medical industry knows that, and those in power/media pushing these ideas/policy know that.

"Trans" is a myth, they're just people who decided to mimic the opposite sex. Or, in the case of "trans" children, had it decided for them.

Everyone knows there’s no trans genocide.

It’s crazy sitting around watching the collapse of society.

It’s crazy sitting around watching the collapse of society.

Unfortunately, societies do this. It's part of the cycle. The insanities which are there from the beginning can be kept in check during the growth phase, but once resource growth is no longer sufficient to distract people with shiny new widgets, we dive into the insanities full time and go nuts.

Our current iteration is being accelerated particularly badly because of the effects of modern bio-agents (including in our foods and most importantly our "medicines" - psychoactive particularly) literally destroying cognitive function. Our broader emotional landscape is a hot mess of confusion because our brains are being turned to jelly by the chemicals we are exposing ourselves to / being exposed to.

Doing our best within our own spheres and knowing that we're creating the best environment around ourself that we can, we have to form a thick skin and watch the rest of the insanity that we cannot control from a distance.

It is indeed crazy.

I don't subscribe to the idea that humans have meaningfully "progressed". We've created a lot of technologies which make things happen faster and accelerate material manipulation of our environment, but to call that progress is a logical link I don't accept.
