Which came first, the chicken or the mental illness?

The medical profession should stop pretending that these unfortunate people are not inherently mentally ill.

Look at the line for gay/lesbian and see that by these measurements, the POPULATION percentage is 3%. The sub-population of 'LGBTQ Youth' (13-24) is obviously smaller than that and and this 'survey' is done by a self-affirmed LGBTQ organization.

While ANY YOUTH SUICIDE is an action to be decried and fought, the obvious question is what is the suicide 'ideation' (formation of ideas / concepts) in the overall population of the range given? From the CDC we have this "... during 2019, a total of 18.8% of students reported having seriously considered suicide ..." while this survey is contemporary AFTER COVID, closed schools and lockdowns. This is a KNOWN causative of youth depression & dissociative behaviors that are co-factors of suicidal thoughts!

Suicide is part and parcel of mental disorders.

Suicide Risk and Mental Disorders
Louise Brådvik

Psychological autopsies from the middle of the previous century and onwards have revealed that most people who have died by suicide have suffered from mental disorders. A recent figure suggests this number could be at least 90%.

petty normal for mentally ill people

[dhs12345]

There is no mental issue. Nope. /sarc

Oh and if you do suggest that it might be mental prepare to be destroyed. Especially if you are a doctor.

[kenmcg]

Geez no surprise! Those folks are mentally unhinged going in.

[nonliberal]

In the words of Bon Jovi:

WOOOOOAH! WE'RE HALFWAY THERE!

[Antoninus]

But don’t worry — being drafted into the LGBTQWhatever cult isn’t a predictor of mental illness or anything.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Good point. Before trans procedures, there needs to be an unbiased diagnosis of the mental state of the individual.

Ethical plastic surgeons already do this with patients before surgery, because they have long known that assumptions that surgery will solve personal, relationship and social problems are almost never correct.

It is worse in those who think that changing their genitalia will change things outside of their body. Homosexuals also tend to misassign unrelated problems to their sexuality.

[TalBlack]

They can do all the LBQXYZ crap they want to wherever they want to as much as they want to. They can watch show after show movie after movie that depicts them supportively and yet are so filled with despair they’re contemplating suicide.

[NWFree]

That’s what mentally deranged people do 🤪

[Allegra]

Shame on the twisted, selfish adults who deliberately led children into this depravity.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You tell children that their sexual abuse was all their own fault, that they were just "born that way" and you wonder why they are suicidal?

[Joe Boucher]

I have a box of straight razor blades I”ll donate for the cause.

[BiteYourSelf]

They’re considering suicide because they realize that they screwed themselves by cutting their junk off.🙄

[Enten]

There is no doubt that many mentally ill people not just the LGBTQ afflicted frequently contemplate suicide.

[Renkluaf]

That’s what happens when you’re mentally ill.

[nicollo]

And likely 80+% of them are underperforming academically.

These kids are taught to be ridiculously self-absorbed and angry. When that happens, they reject externalities and percieve it all as authoritative and abusive.

The harm being done these kids is tremendous.

[Trillian]

Get help and counseling for sexual abuse and help putting the abuser in prison.

[Clarancebeaks]

A certain percentage of todays youth will kill themselves no matter what. Better for most of them to be the freaky fags, drag queens,and mentally defective transexual weirdos.
