The Transgender Suicide Rate Isn’t Due To Discrimination
http://thefederalist.com ^ | JULY 7, 2016 | Daniel Payne

Chelsea Manning—who became a male-to-female transgender after going to prison as Bradley Manning for giving reams of classified information to WikiLeaks—allegedly attempted suicide earlier this week. Manning was taken to a prison hospital after an apparent attempted hanging.

This is not a surprise: “transgender” individuals have an alarmingly high suicide rate, somewhere north of 40 percent by some reliable estimates. A variety of explanations are often given for this astronomical figure, chief among them that transgender people are driven to kill themselves in such large numbers because they suffer from discrimination, bigotry and hatred.

There was a show called Taxicab Confession that was pretty good until it devolved into sleaze. One segment had a guy who had had it cut off. He was depressed and suicidal. “You can no longer orgasm. You no longer have any sexual feeling.” In a sane world, it would be played as a cautionary tale for these weirdos. It would probably be considered transphobic hate in our Bizarro world.

The same warped attempt to explain something that is obvious. They claim that dickchoppers kill themselves because of discrimination. They claim that blacks die younger than whites because of discrimination.
Wrong, and a lie, in both cases.

The transgender suicide rate is due to the fact that trannies are emotionally unstable at the least-and full-on mentally ill at the most...

What an insane world we live in that expects transvestites to be normal and healthy.

I’m basing my comments on my experience as a workers comp case manager-I’ve had more trannies as clients than I care to think about-most of them were fat and ugly before their “transformation” and expected it to make them suddenly beautiful-totally unrealistic expectations-like I said, mentally ill...

Mutilating your body is not going to fix your mental problems, it only makes them worse.
They need rape and abuse therapy.

I am flummoxed as to who watches these types of shows. There is one show about a boy that is transitioning, “Jaz”? There are evidently enough viewers that have kept this on the air.

I just don’t get it...

The mostly suffer from the internal mental battle attempting to maintain mental stability with an obsession that has convinced them of a lie - that they are not the sex that they in fact are. There are former “trans” folks who have admitted that, as well as some of suicides themselves.

What the adult transgender person lacked most was not getting good strong but compassionate familiar and professional help shaking off the obession that took hold of them at a young age. There are possibly as many folk who had that success when young, as those who never did, and never did. Those who did not get the obession treated as the erroneous obsession it is, usually lacked the strength of conviction to admitting the truth and sticking to it in the earliest and hard part of overcoming it, by parents and other adults around them, even professionals. The easy road, of “not upsetting the child” and letting them continue pretending is the road often taken.

It’s actually due to being nuts and then becoming the “poster creatures” for a nutty society.

If your brain is at odds with your body first it makes you abuse and mutilate it. Then it makes you kill it.

and it is reasonable to assume that actual instances of discrimination against blacks are a good deal higher than those against whites.

Yeah, right. White against Black facsimile is highly stigmatized and Black against White racism is encouraged and laughed ot. Do the math.

Why a prison hospital? That doesn't make sense.

I think this whole event is a load of cr**. Probably looking for a "fund".
