Groundbreaking study concludes (again) that trans are more suicidal, but researchers can’t acknowledge the real reason why
American Thinker ^ | 06/30/2023 | Olivia Murray

On Tuesday, a reporter for The New York Times authored a column with this teaser:

Using four decades of health data from Denmark, the study offers the clearest picture yet of the suicide risk among transgender people.

The study was published two days ago in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and concluded what many of us likely already know: “transgender” people are at a massively increased risk of both successful and attempted suicide. In the report the NYT touted as the “first in the world to analyze national suicide data for this group”, researchers found:

Transgender people in the country had 7.7 times the rate of suicide attempts and 3.5 times the rate of suicide deaths compared with the rest of the population….

The publication of the data comes right at the tail end of “Pride” month, a ritual that trans czar Richard Levine recently suggested should extend through the entire summer (a precursor to the inevitable call for a 24/7 session no doubt) and both the authors of the study and Levine determine the disproportionate rates of self-harm in the trans community to be caused by regressive-minded societal factions. (We all know exactly who they mean.) In a recent interview, Levine declared pediatric Frankenstein surgeries and synthetic hormone cocktails to have support at “the highest levels” of the Biden regime and noted these interventions to be “literally suicide prevention”; the post-study “discussion” portion of the abstract noted:

Transgender individuals may be exposed to systemic negativity regarding their trans identity in the form of bullying, discrimination, exclusion, and prejudice, which in turn may result in alienation and internalized stigma, mental health problems, and, ultimately, suicidal behavior.

Ahhh, so it’s not that cross-dressing deviants obsessed with sex and advocating for the amputation and mutilation of healthy body parts are mentally ill, it’s those mean conservatives with their bigoted opinions sending these “marginalized” outsiders into a suicidal spiral.

Yes, the people who get a carte blanche check to violate indecent exposure laws in front of children for a whole month, and have major corporations like Lockheed Martin, Bud Light, Target, Kohl’s, and the United States federal government promoting their agenda, are “marginalized.” Got it.

And “bullying”? Kind of like the militant trans wackos that bully and physically accost children who detransition and leave the cult? Or the “systemic negativity” that seems to flourish in one demographic, and that is the romantic partners of these trans people?

Maybe because they are mental ill and should be treated as such instead of giving them hormone blockers.

Isn’t it because they are depressed that they can’t get the gender affirming care including surgeries and pharmaceuticals that they need at taxpayer expense. I am sure I have seen that explanation broadly put around.

The mentally ill have always been a greater suicide risk than the normal.

In a subtly sarcastic line, the writer hits it on the head. In general, it is this: just substitute the words “mentally ill” in place of “trans” and the suicidal tendency enigma immediately goes away.

By that I mean it’s no longer an enigma; because mentally ill people are prone to suicidal ideation. Conversely, I’d venture, suicidal people are de facto mentally ill (at least in some measure or description).

You can tell a leftist wrote this tripe. It has all the hallmarks of leftist speak.

Allow me to rewrite the quote above: Gender deniers suffer from sinful personal choices. It impacts nearly all aspects of their lives. That overwhelms them so much that many can no longer live with themselves. It all ends in the moment they ultimately agree with vast majority. That’s when they take their own lives.

How to create a demon.

1. First you manufacture a victim

2. Then you create the villain - the oppressor

3. Then you go on a media blitz with that story (narrative), appealing to the sense of compassion for the victim and hatred for the perp.

4. And voila you have created a demon to strike down.

They are mentally ill. You don’t cure that with opposite sex hormones and mutilating surgery.

Mentally ill + low self esteem. Trannies by definition have low self esteem. It’s why they want to change. Then they realize changing made no difference to their self esteem, just made it worse.

All perverts that demand others play along and applaud their perversity, are mentally messed up and unhappy. Not just these specific ones. ALL of these such types of perverts are.

Because they know they are messed up and no amount of support will ever take that fact away from them. Because they know they are messed up and something is wrong with them. Nothing others do can get rid of that. So it gets worse.

I've also heard it said as, "You can't fix a problem between your ears with a surgery between your legs."
