The first thing liberals want to do is blame the people who refused to call him “ma’am”. But no one is responsible for a mentally ill person’s suicide. I could just as easily argue that the fault belongs to the people who insisted on calling him a ‘her’ when that is just not true. Helping to reinforce a person’s mental illness is not treating it.
Bravo!
Exactly.
Your argument “that the fault belongs to people who insisted on calling him a ‘her’ when that is just not true” isn’t just an argument. It’s the hard truth they deflect because they are unwilling to take that responsibility.
At least in this and other suicide cases where the mentally ill person took only their own life the damage to others was limited. There are a lot of cases where the mentally ill person takes or attempts to take the life of another or more than one other person.
Mental health treatment needs to be the first and foremost priority. Not butchery.

Hey really well put, TI.
It’s “denial”, right? There’s the truth, which we are called to seek, understand, honor, and then there’s everything else.
When we set out to deny the truth, we invite suffering. And in this case, a catastrophe.
Very sad what happened here. May God bless the young man who committed suicide, but also the poor train conductor who had no choice but to witness what happened.
Ain't that the truth!
We were taught in my Abnormal Psychology course that it is both cruel and dangerous to participate in someone's delusions.
