A local LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention organization saw a significant uptick in crisis calls after the winner of the presidential election was projected late Tuesday night.

Compared to weeks prior, West Hollywood-based nonprofit The Trevor Project reported seeing a 700% increase in calls to its hotline services on Nov. 6, the day after election night.

“In addition,” the website stated, “after analyzing the full day of post-election conversations across our classic crisis services, election-related content in convos have increased by nearly 5,200% compared to averages leading up to election day.”

“Additionally, anti-transgender state laws significantly increased incidents of past-year suicide attempts among trans and nonbinary youth by as much as 72%,” said the nonprofit.


Maybe these young folks should search a pathway to a creative and productive life to find happiness.

Whoever would have thought butchering ones own body would lead to mental health problems?/s

I hope the leftist media is proud of themselves. They are responsible for the mental illness going on in this country today - gays & women all think they’re about to be killed or enslaved. By whom, I have no idea. But they believe it.

Wouldn’t it be the other way around? Something evil that they have been captivated by lead them to self mutilation.

This is the media’s fault, not Trump or his reelection.
If they are thinking about suicide it’s because they believe the media.

It makes me profoundly sad to see what we do to the youth in this country. Real, caring parenting would have fixed most of this kind of problem.

Thanks, mothers of America! This is a disaster primarily of your own making.

America has a mental health crisis - created by post-modern narcissism, materialism and atheism.

The media, the media, the media - the progenitors of mindless thinking and false information.

Do any of the “triggered” “LBGT” persons even know that Rick Grenell - a “gay” man - is among the top folks being considered for oisitions in the Trump administration?? You can bet they don’t.

Lastly, contrary to what the media sells, there are chasms of divide between the “LGBs” and the “Ts”; they are not in agreement on many things.

How would the Left react to a 700% increase in election-related content in calls to a suicide prevention organization after a presidential election by Christians (besides other stats)? They would be gloating, and describe Christians as weak, instead of attacking them due to opposing another faith and practice-based group.

Ahhh. So, transgenderism is perfectly normal and no different than any other subset of the population with regard to mental health?

Did the calls to suicide lines spike like that after the 2020 election when Conservatives phoned in? Given that transgenders make up some subgroup of people that total between 35-45% of the population, wouldn’t suicide calls increase as well after a Biden win when non-Liberals/Leftists would need to phone in?

I would say Suicidal Ideation is an indicator of mental disorder. I hesitate to compare it to suicidal ideation in the Leftist population since Trump’s victory (as a “control group” because I have long regarded Leftists as mentally disturbed, if not fully blown cases of mental illness) but gee...%700 increase seems a bit much.

Indeed they’ve became addicted to drama and theatrics and wining to be noticed for something that isn’t excepted in normal life.

They wonder why dogs tilt their head when the see them in action.
