Suicide Among Transsexual Teens?

Recent studies have shown suicide rates among transsexual teens is 35% - 53%. I have two question for you:

1.) With this stat in mind, how come ignorant trolls come on here and make them feel horrible about themselves to the point were it could be the catalyst for some teen to commit suicide?

and

2.) With this stat, how can people seriously say that there is no such thing as transsexualism? Why would 1 out of every 2 kids that identify as transsexual kill themselves if it was just nothing?

  • There will always be gutless ignorant fools out there whose only pleasure in life is to make others feel bad so that they can feel good about themselves. It takes an incredibly weak minded individual to be unnecessarily cruel to others in order to compensate for whatever problems they have in their own lives.

    It's why I laugh at the regular trolls here like John Honor/John Whether, because people like him lead pathetic lives and dedicate great amounts of their time coming here and attacking transsexual people to make up for his short comings in life.

    You just have to realise that people like that are worthless human beings (i use the term "human" loosely) and often aren't fit to breath the same air as you.

  • Personally I think that a lot of people hate in others what they see in themselves. I think a lot of hatred towards trans people comes from repressed feelings in others. I think that transgender can be a pandoras box to some people as it opens up a whole new world of possibility that the brave trans people choose to take for themselves. For people less brave and unsure they can feel resentment towards trans people, they want them to just suck it up and get on with things like nothing is wrong. But this type of attitude is very similar to the attitude homophobic people have. Its like this big vicious cycle of repressed thoughts, being ignorant and fearing things. Some homophobic people are gay themselves but they are too afraid to do anything about it. So they bash gay people for leading the lives they want for themselves, they wish that they could suck it up and carry on like the rest of the world.

    A truly confident person wont bash another person because they have no reason too. I think the ones who do all the bashing are the insecure people on the inside.

    Some people however just like to be horrible because it makes them feel better, but that is not the attitude of a healthy person.

    It's sad that some trans people resort to suicide. I hope that people can be educated more about trans people, and see that they are humans just like the rest of us, probably even more brave.

  • Note, none of our resident transphobes (Flubbity U, John Heather, Audrey the Provacative, Tara J) will answer this question. They couldn't cope with having to really look at themselves.
