Ohio transgender teen's suicide prompts outcry

When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness. After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was. I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn't make mistakes, that I am wrong. If you are reading this, parents, please don't tell this to your kids. Even if you are Christian or are against transgender people don't ever say that to someone, especially your kid. That won't do anything but make them hate them self. That's exactly what it did to me.

My mom started taking me to a therapist, but would only take me to christian therapists, (who were all very biased) so I never actually got the therapy I needed to cure me of my depression. I only got more christians telling me that I was selfish and wrong and that I should look to God for help.

When I was 16 I realized that my parents would never come around, and that I would have to wait until I was 18 to start any sort of transitioning treatment, which absolutely broke my heart. The longer you wait, the harder it is to transition. I felt hopeless, that I was just going to look like a man in drag for the rest of my life. On my 16th birthday, when I didn't receive consent from my parents to start transitioning, I cried myself to sleep."

There is absolutely a determined, concerted effort to grab the minds of children, as young as possible, and open them up to all manner of sexual perversions and experimentation in order to toy with them and prep them and indoctrinate them with radical off-the-wall depraved ideas.

If successful, they will create adults who will support every evil behavior and idea that supports the radical leftist agenda. And they will win support from cradle to grave. They won’t have to persuade. They will simply mold. And have an army of obedient slaves who are satisfied with the base-ist most rudimentary “comforts” to be obedient. And the war for the mind is over. No more tea parties. No more third party threat. Game over.

Their victory is impossible. Of course, it won’t stop them from trying.

you know IF you wanted to rationalize something you could find an instance as a child to prove your point....

thinking your gay?......well, then you just happen to remember the time when you chose a coloring book with pink rainbows....Shazaamm.....that proves you "knew" you were gay at age 4....

we could all look back and find "something" to prove one thing or another....

Gender confusion is usually one of the signs of deep psychiatric problems.

Wait a minute - if they are SO convinced they were born in the wrong body, why would they want to be able to reverse the transition? I guess they are NOT so sure and are just trying on different bodies as one would change clothing styles! First World problems for people with too much time on their hands.

They do NOT opt for reversible strategies.

I think it is wise for physicians and other professionals to strongly recommend reversible procedures for adolescents....just in case.

Got a link that reports that homosexuals die 20 years sooner?

1) What does your first question even mean? 2) It is a proven fact that mental illness is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Doctors and scientists have been saying this for decades and have done numerous studies. Have you attended school to become a psychiatrist? How about science? Something tells me you have not.

Do you honestly believe people have schizophrenia and/or bipolar disorder because they have an ‘evil will’ for others? I have bipolar disorder and I was born with it so I know of what I speak. I don’t have an evil will on anyone.

If you think the ‘Original Sin’ crap is the cause of mental illness then you are ignorant.

In case they change their minds.

It does sometimes happen that a child who was certain they did not want to be the sex they were born as has a change of mind. For this reason it is wise to take no steps that are irreversible. It is best to neither cause nor allow any changes that cannot be undone... at least until the child reaches 18.

I have access to a college library online with studies posted online and there is always http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/

However, I did not get any results using the terms “lifespan” and “homosexual” which is totally weird. In the articles found using the same terms a Danish study was discussed and it supposedly questioned whether it was better to smoke than to be homosexual. Smoking takes off 7 years and homosexuality takes off 20 years. But the study was not in the database.

It seems to me that with the homosexual lifestyle being closeted that it would be extremely difficult to get true results. Most of the studies that came up at the college database were only studying HIV patients.

Have you seen the popular articles referring to “do these 7 things and live 10 more years?” I would gather that if you do 7 (or more) things that are not healthy then that is probably why the homosexual lifestyle is so detrimental for lifespan according to non-scientific standards.

As for the suicide victim, his depression should have been addressed before all else. You can’t heal if you are dead.

Regarding suicide statistics, the suicides of the elderly are hidden at high rates and how would anyone know if a teen suicide was due to homosexual/heterosexual confusion if not discussed?

Also, soy is like estrogen, so let’s keep putting it in every stinking processed food. Ever wonder why the Asians have such a weird culture in regards to wild animal parts being used as an aphrodisiac? You would think they would know to cut out soy.

Bingo. This kid was mentally ill. The numerous prejudiced references to Christians is why this has been picked up by the MSM. They are always looking for a way to bash Christians.

Suicide is one of the most selfish acts one can do.

And some others make jokes that it is the ultimate in self-criticism.

It is a tragically sad state of being that leads up to suicide and it begs compassion rather than trite and banal sayings.

Heartbreaking. The left will scream at the top of their lungs that this is not a mental illness and deny people like this the treatment they need that could help them cope and possibly recover. It is the height of inhumanity of the left that they continue to allow these people to suffer without treatment. It’s like the democrats want these people run around and be their very own side show freaks. Maybe it makes them feel better about who and what the left truly are.

It’s sad that nobody will really see it that way either.

This confused soul destroyed more than his own life. The outcry should be over why society and politicians continue to pretend that it’s a normal behavior to be a perverted tranny.

How many suicides have Bi’s, Queer’s, and Trannies committed over the years because of the mental disease that entails?

Homosexuality is a mental illness. Always was and always will be.
