You still operate under the belief that kids under 18 are lining up for surgeries like they’re orthodontics. You’ve invented a strawman to justify your hatred towards trans people. https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/gender-affirming-surgeries-rarely-performed-on-transgender-youth/ https://www.hrc.org/resources/get-the-facts-on-gender-affirming-care The “horrific outcomes” for those who get surgery are a direct result of YOUR actions and YOUR beliefs, not theirs. It’s on YOU.

When people like you treat transgender folk like they’re monsters, it’s not too hard to see why they’d feel suicidal. I think too young is below puberty.

Im not opposed to AI as a tool for data analysis and simple coding and such, but I’m viciously opposed to it for art and writing. That’s the stuff that makes us human. I’ll be damned if we turn over our creativity to cold, unthinking computers!

Exactly!

I genuinely am at a loss as to how you can’t understand that the suicide rates are explained by increased social stigma and isolation after the surgery, not the surgery itself. It’s baffling.

You can continue to argue against it, but stop using sources you clearly can’t comprehend. Or choose not to. PS, surgery IS part of the psychiatric support after age 18.

Im surprised this hasn’t been posted here, but Mike Lee is on a crusade to sell off thousands of acres of beautiful, unspoiled Federal land for development. It’s received universal backlash - no one wants our beautiful lands spoiled. They’re protected and open to anyone. It’s a horrible idea. Mike Lee is right up there with MTG and Boebert for the worst officials in the nation.

Okay, you’re obviously locked into one section of the paper and refuse to read the rest of it. The reasons for the higher suicide rate are social stigma, isolation, and depression. The solution is acceptance and understanding, not taking away suicide prevention lines. It represents traditional gender colors lmao

Really disturbing stuff from Trump

It’s from your own paper!!

As I’ve explained to you 1,000 times, this is due to stigma and isolation stemming from being transgender and not accepted by society. The paper even acknowledges this: “Transgender individuals have a higher prevalence of depression across several age groups, often due to life experiences that include discrimination, harassment, violence, misgendering, and enacted stigma that may generate poor mental health outcomes and harmful behaviors [4,7,8]. It is widely accepted that depression puts an individual at higher risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts” The paper even says that banning gender-affirming surgery isn’t the solution, it’s providing more care after the surgery. “Their results reveal an improvement in patient well-being, with high satisfaction levels, reduced dysphoria, and persistent mental health benefits even decades after surgery.” You keep using this paper as some kind of gotcha when it’s obvious you haven’t read it.

I think it’s beneficial to have specialized support, such as what we do for the US Veterans Crisis Line. I see zero benefit to ending the LGTBQ+ suicide line except to cause harm, which is the main mantra of the MAGA ideology.

You lose. Thanks for wasting our tax dollars on this.

Okay, so they ARE getting rid of the LGBTQ+ Suicide Hotline. Got it. This doesn’t make transgender kids go away, by the way. It just makes them more likely to off themselves.

The “article” clearly states that the online is being shut down and transferred to the general hotline. You might want to consider reading what you copy and paste.

All well and good. Just stop pretending Trump is the “president of peace.” He lied. You ate it up.

If you want to help them, why is your side ending the LGTBQ+ suicide hotline?

These idiots happily vote MAGA then get confused when ICE shows up to ship them to the Sahara. They get what they voted for.

“western civilization” will be just fine I’m sorry free speech offends you. Tissue?

Still sobbing and crying over transgender people existing, huh?

What logic? Trump ran as the “President of peace” and is now happily threatening to send forces to attack Iran, and your side is going right along with it!

You can marry a guy and still be non-binary/pansexual. Not too complicated

Communism is when gay people exist

Stalks of light come from the ground When I cry there isn't a sound All my feelings cannot be held I'm happy in my new strange world Shades of green grasses twine Girls drinking plasma wine A look at love, a dream unfolds Living here, you'll never grow old Oh baby Don't you hear me call?

The real ending to the Sopranos?
