Thanks for finding and checking the original article.

I, too, thought that the statistics might have been distorted in the article.

And, yes, isn’t it amazing that its treated as nothing noteworthy by most media?

Using a medical analogy, this movement is like an indolent cancer that goes unnoticed until it’s advanced and difficult to treat.

These people are criminals... the whole lot of them.

The removal of homosexuality from the Dsm Was a political move not backed by any science...

If I walk into any psychiatrists office and say I’m a dog they would work to help me realize I am not... but if I walk in and claim and ridiculous sexual nonsense... they don’t remotely attempt to get these people to understand and accept fundamental reality but pander to their delusions

It’s malpractice.

Sexual reassignment has not shown evidence of helping anyone.. yet they promote it.. etc etc. they are doing gross harm and don’t care.

It’s sad for individuals and their families, but it’s Nature’s way of thinning the herd.

I’d guess that some/many suicides were mentally troubled kids in the first place, encouraged by our sick culture into believing transgenderism would relieve their dysphoria (gender and/or otherwise), only to find they are as miserable as ever, perhaps more so.

If any other population group was approaching a 50% suicide rate, the entire group should be detained and psychiatrically evaluated and any found to be at risk should be institutionalized.

Thanks for responding. Isn’t this malpractice on a massive scale?

Like D. Trump said to megyn kelly: “Political correctness is killing us!” We are seeing it literally realized here.

You’re thinking like a public health advocate—that overall mental health matters, and we ought to try to maximize it.

Cultural steering is difficult, although over the past two generations, the left as managed to influence our cultural drift strongly.

We need something that captures imaginations strongly and for a long time. Maybe we need a mystery. Q! Q! Q!

Perhaps. Certainly, Hollywood isn’t going to be much help.

Seems like it to me.

The word "malpractice" has different connotations. With a professional, like a lawyer or doctor, it means providing advice or care which falls short of the professional standard.

With a politician, a media personality, or a journalist, what is the "standard of performance?"

We rejected a certain basic moral/civic code, because sometimes it was inflexible. Or we were seduced to be more open-minded. However you slice it, the standard of performance for influencers has never been defined, but even so, I think it's trending lower.

No matter what the data shows, the answer is always more liberalism. No matter how many die.

Unsurprised.
Divorcing yourself from the purposes/functions that Nature (God) intended for you, is a recipe for disaster.
