The suicide rate for trans is extremely high. They generally do not live fulfilling or good lives. This is not a path I’d want my kid to choose because it so often leads to a bad life. I’m sorry. But 9/10 of the trans people I know are struggling and have terrible lives. I don’t mean the Instagram influencers, I mean the real ones

But that is most likely due to the unprecedented levels of discrimination they face??? Living in a world where you’re so vehemently rejected would definitely contribute to a lower quality of life.

My older brother is trans and he’s happily married, owns a HOUSE, and summers in France My buddy, nb, has top grades and got an internship in their chosen field lined up when they graduate. As far as they’ve told me, they’re as happy as anyone else My friend in high school, trans woman, had a hard time when we were young, but now owns her own small business and makes art mostly days (does have a part time gig) Trans people do well when they’re in a supportive environment.

With all due respect they don’t have to make it everyone else’s business that they’re trans either…most of the hate that I see is from people being irritated that it’s being made everyone’s business who sleeps in who’s bed and what they are like you’re not rlly all that special because you’re gay or trans it doesn’t have to be your entire personality not sayin don’t talk about it EVER like when it’s relevant sure talk about it if you want but it doesn’t need to be in every conversation

Trans people agree with u on that one, they’re regular people with personalities other than being trans, but when their rights and lives are constantly being attacked they don’t really have a choice

Yeah because they face high amounts of bigotry and hatred. It’s not being trans that’s unhealthy, it’s the outside world being so harsh and unwelcoming to anyone they deem as an other

It’s only “everyone else’s business” bc the media won’t shut the fuck up about trans people. Fox sees one trans person doing something they don’t like and it’s the top story for the next month The other outlets just banter on about how great they are and how republicans are so awful and we need to support these poor people please donate Just stfu. Leave them alone. They’re just like you and me—PEOPLE. Good lord

It’s hard to stay positive when an entire system works against you. Their rights are constantly under attack, they are constantly harassed by people who don’t even know them, they are denied services just because of how they choose to identify themselves. They hurt no one, but scores of people choose to hurt them. Even professional psychologists agree that gender affirming care and treating them like people drastically reduces suicides and mental breaks, and is the best way to help trans people
