August 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – People who suffer from gender confusion are encouraged by the current cultural climate to "be themselves," meaning reject the gender they were born with.
"Transgender" teens are taught that what they feel is who they are and that to be happy and fulfilled, they must become the opposite sex. When Bruce Jenner decided to publicly look like a woman, he was supported by the mass media. Even the president of the United States, when Jenner decided to have castration surgery, applauded him as a "courageous" hero.
But studies repeatedly show that "transgender" people who seek to become the opposite sex are in fact not happy or fulfilled. In fact, a life-or-death internal war is continually going on within, to the degree that many, if not most, seek to end their lives.
That's what the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Williams Institute found when the foundation analyzed results from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey. The numbers of suicide attempts are heartbreaking.
Over 41 percent of active "transgender" people try to kill themselves. That's ten times the average 4.6 percent suicide attempt rate.
And this study isn't the only one proving that those who seek to live as if they were the opposite sex are, in fact, killing themselves. Over a dozen other surveys worldwide have found the same alarmingly high suicide rates.
A national survey of more than 6,500 transgender people asked the question "Have you tried to commit suicide?" Forty-one percent answered, "Yes."
"Chronically high stress levels," "anxiety," and "depression" are most commonly reported among active transgender people. Self-harm by cutting is often reported as well.
The suicide hotline for them, Trans Lifeline, handled more than 20,000 calls in its first nine months of operation alone. Greta Gustava Martela, a lesbian who founded the hotline, summarizes, "With 41% attempting suicide, you have to assume something's just not working for transgender folks."
The mainstream media attributes the exploding transgender suicide rate to outside influences, such as peer and parental rejection, but does not consider the transgender person's tragic internal battle as intrinsic to living a psychological dichotomy.
The facts speak otherwise. The University of Birmingham's Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility (ARIF) conducted a medical review that found that there is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals. In fact, many transsexuals remain severely internally distressed and suicidal after the operation.
Chris Hyde, the director of ARIF, explained, "A large number of people who have [sex change] surgery remain traumatized – often to the point of committing suicide."
And yet the effort to ignore the suicidal facts and teach even grade school children that transgender people are fulfilling their "true" selves continues. As Stella Morabito of The Federalist writes, "The [transgender] guy isn't allowed to talk about his regret. Not openly. The transgender lobby actively polices and suppresses discussion of sex-change regret."
Some transgender patients have said they realized, too late, that sex change operations did not live up to their promise. Alan Finch explains, "You fundamentally can't change sex. ... The surgery doesn't alter you genetically. It's genital mutilation[.] ... It's all been a terrible misadventure[.] ... The analogy I use about giving surgery to someone desperate to change sex is it's a bit like offering liposuction to an anorexic."
Tennis champion Renée Richards, who went from male to "female" in the '70s, wrote, "I would have been better off staying the way I was – a totally intact person[.] ... I don't want anyone to hold me out as an example to follow[.] ... I get a lot of letters from people who are considering having this operation ... and I discourage them all."
The left will protect its satanic agenda at all costs.

So they screw this up too.
Just a causation question. Is there a study which measures the percentage of suicidal pre-ops vs. post ops? In other words, is it the operation which pushes them over the edge or are they already B*t Sh*t crazy and try the surgery to feel better?
The politically correct answer is that they commit suicide because people are mean to them.
“Over 41 percent of active “transgender” people try to kill themselves. That’s ten times the average 4.6 percent suicide attempt rate.”
Wow! If this were any other group, the media would be sounding a clarion call. Or whatever.... the facts would be out there as much as CNN talks about every black innocent male teenager shot or killed by a white cop.
btw... that young black woman from Chicago who likely killed herself in Texas...we don’t hear much about her anymore. Apparently it was absolutely true, that she hung herself and the video from the jail was proof. It wasn’t like most of these incidents, in that there was obvious proof and not just bystanders’ comments.
That being said, I hope she is at peace now. She seems like she was a troubled person.
But I digress. Back to the topic of other troubled people...
Next: normal people will have to wear wireless headphones that play voices that tell them that they’re no good, are stupid, and should strike out and hurt those around them.
This will make schizophrenics feel better about themselves.
Maybe after the operation they just don’t have the balls to do it. (sorry)
Shouldn't the person who feels like killing be encouraged to kill?
That's the logical conclusion to the myth that we "must be true to our desires". Scripture says our desires are evil.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
2Ch 12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
Jer 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
“So they screw this up too. “

Seriously, though, I don’t have a major problem with this on an individual level except now it is being pushed on our children through the media, television, and every other outlet (i.e., singers like Lady Gaga).
My 16 year-old daughter gets it in school, about how “cool” it is to be gay and transgendered...
Seriously, having your child have sex reassignment surgery should be illegal. It is child abuse; actually, that is not even a strong enough word for it.
Am I dreaming too much to possibly hope that one of the presidential candidates would raise that issue? That they would encourage the states to make it illegal to allow parents to get their children operated on? Cannot Obamacare be amended for that provision?

LOLOL!! Literally. Post of the day! :)
Mental illness. It is mental illness and it is evil to accept it and not try to help them overcome the mental illness.
In this country it is illegal in many states to practice homosexual conversion therapy; however, it is quite legal to mutilate the human body and prescribe hormones for a lifetime for a sex change.
Trans gendered people are freaks to begin with. They know it
and they try to fix it by changing into what they believe
their true identity is instead of admitting to themselves
that they have a mental disorder and dealing with that.
All the LGBTSUP activists are the ones who have mislead these
people and are to blame for it. Just my opinion but I could care
less if the perverted freaks kill themselves. I mean
homosexuality is just Gods way of saying
“do not reproduce, you have nothing to contribute to the
human gene pool” and they don’t.
Gender crossing is a very strange phenomenon - part make believe, part demonic possession. I think it can never end well.
they have a mental illness just like homosexuals and that is why they have a high suicide rate, but of course the liberals can’t understand mental illness, because they want to ignore it due to their own selfish agenda .
Yeah, I heard about one of them going into the ER with a bullet hole in his hand. He told the doc he tried to kill himself. The doc said, "by shooting yourself in the hand?" The guy said, "no, I put the gun to my ear, and I knew it was going to be loud, so I covered my other ear with my hand........."
The left uses these people who have mental illness to further their far extremist agenda , regardless if people get hurt along the way.
That is how selfish and sick these far left radicals are, just like killing babies.
Doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know they’re screwed up.
The Left, the so-called, self-named “Progressives”:
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!” Isaiah 5:20-21,23.
