That is incredibly sad.

They are more likely to kill themselves after transition. The community has insisted it's because they aren't accepted, but they were functionally accepted by society. They may be eroding that welcome, but no other group who was truly oppressed got that reception anywhere near that quickly. They are at the top of the oppressed totem pole.

The largely unspoken reason they kill themselves is because afterward many have feelings of regret right away, the fantasy bubble pops when they realize medically what they've done to themselves and psychologically hit rock bottom when they realize everyone was being kind and no one actually believes they are the opposite sex and no one wants to build a romantic healthy relationship with someone who wears their mental illness clearly as a fashion statement. Their entirely experimental surgeries leave many with awful complications that also severely decrease quality of life, while reinforcing the reality that they will never be "real" men or women, because emptying the colostomy bag from your complications tends to prevent you from floating away in the fantasy that you have changed sex. It is incredibly sad we are all socially supporting this by pretending their delusions are "valid."

And they're mostly recruiting gender nonconforming, gay and lesbian, autistic kids - a group often targeted for euthanasia. Sterilization, of course, is one end result of this "treatment." It is incredibly sad.

More likely than the general population.

Transitioning itself reduces suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in patents with gender dysphoria.

Ending one's blood line is the death of the family.

You can't edit a bloodline. A bloodline is the set of ancestors. It's in the past.

Blood line are ongoing. I would not consider your blood line to go back any further than your immediate sisters and brothers from the same mother and father. They do not exist solely in the past, but in the present and the futures well.

Oh, wait. I see the problem.

ENDING one's blood line is the death of the family.

... Obviously ...

So what?

If you cut your dick off, you can't have kids. And you are not a real woman. This ends the blood line.

That's right.

So what?

Suicide is the death of the individual. It is nothing compared to condemning your own blood line.
