Why are transgender people more likely to commit suicide?

[Porcupine]

If it were true that there was something intrinsic to trans people that makes them more likely to contemplate and/or commit suicide, that would still be a good reason to treat them better.

That's one great way to debunk truly terrible arguments. Say something like "I disagree with your premise strongly but nevermind that. Let's accept your premise anyway, for sake of argument. Now, watch where the logic from that premise takes you. Even if we accept your silly premise: your conclusion doesn't follow."
