Why are transgender people more likely to commit suicide?

[Rev. Rye]

Look, if you’re at all interested in trying to understand the issue, you need to educate yourself.

A brief general primer: https://www.hrc.org/resources/understand...-community

A survey of trans rights in America (fun fact: until a fucking MONTH ago, Less than half of all US states had a comprehensive ban on discriminating against trans people in employment): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgende...ted_States

A look at trans poverty (while you may be right about the majority of trans people coming from wealthy backgrounds, and even that I doubt, it doesn’t mean a damn thing if your wealthy parents disown you for being trans.): https://nwlc.org/blog/income-security-is...er-survey/

Some information on trans harassment (because even if you have equal rights under the law, it doesn’t mean a damn thing if the people around you don’t give a shit): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_bashing

Trans violence (because the shit that led to the death of Brandon Teena is still alive and well): https://www.hrc.org/resources/violence-a...ty-in-2020

Medical discrimination (because last month, Trump rolled back a shitton of Obama-era protections in health care and many are still back at stage one): https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shot...nistration

Hopefully, this will enlighten you. Assuming you give a shit, of course.
