Transexuals

[BGChuckLee]

Transexuality, is a different matter- since suicides are between 31-50%, they need urgent help.

Ok, why do you think suicide rates are so high with transsexuals?

Speaking for myself, I did attempt suicide a few times and I used to cut myself. The reason it was so difficult is because society hates on transsexuals so much. If we had greater social acceptance, if my family hadn't rejected me or it had been easier to find a job, maybe I wouldn't have gone into the emotional tailspin that drove me to attempt suicide.

Also worth considering, I was suicidal before transitioning and then you could argue I didn't have a reason. At least not one that was readily seen by the public. Truth be told, my brain simply couln't do 'happy' without estrogen; I need that chemical to be happy as much as some people need prozac to be happy. Without that happiness, I was constantly in a state of 'nearly suicidal.' Now, though, as long as I can maintain a minimum level of stability in my life, I love life and wouldn't give it up for anything.

I am sorry that's the case, nobody should want to take their own life. I'm sure some society genuinely hate you, but then again- many of society hates a bisexual as myself- of course it is not as bad as transexuality, but you get my idea- I don't take it personally, in fact I stay far clear from anyone that's passive aggressive/violent in nature, that way I don't have to deal with it.

Transexuality is a strong visual indicator of suicidality, you would agree with that. It is of course not the cause, any more than a gun in the hands of a crazy man is the cause for craziness. You had depression, long before you thought of being trans (as you said.). I have nothing against transexuals, I just think they need urgent help, since there's almost half a chance that they will kill themselves (you can personally testify to this). I don't like how people pretend that it's normal and healthy- it's not. I don't care what you say, if almost half your demographic offs them self, there is something wrong with it.
