Hence Jeremy Corbyn. Just like Bernie Sanders as the “counterpoint” to the USA’s liberal GOP-e.

Why is it when a mentally ill person commits suicide, it’s everyone else’s fault for driving them to it? Could it possibly be the fault of the mental illness to begin with?

That’s alright. They’re arming their police, so the bobbies can shoot the transphobics.

As the party in power, not surprising. Such committes are usually led by an MP or Minister from the ruling party.

The only true transgender people are the few, rare hermaphrodites. All the others are mentally disturbed.

If it is estimated that no more than 1-2% of people are homosexual, than what percent could possibly be “transgender”? Maybe one tenth of one percent? Should they get more favorable laws than fat people, old people, etc.? This sounds like another victim-class tantrum, IMHO.

They are likely to attempt suicide whether you pretend along with them or not. That is part of that sad life. When you’re not getting the mentally ill the help that they need, things go downhill fast.
Hint: Encouraging their delusions is not helping them.

They always deny that sexual deviants commit suicide at a disproportionate rate and then, a second later, admit that sexual deviants commit suicide at a disproportionate rate.

They think we’re as big idiots as they are.
