I didn't say all, Sherlock. Statistically, they have higher rates of suicides and mental issues. #notall

There is a reason for that. When you have society constantly ridiculing your very existence... Bullying you... Well. It can make living less than pleasant.
Same goes for the LGBQI community as well... Because of the constant hate and ridicule they receive, they have a higher rate of suicide and mental illness.

How do you solve this? You don't exclude them for starters, that will only exacerbate the issue. In other words, people like you are the cause of it.

And let's be honest, unless you are part of the LGBTQI community, you shouldn't ever be under any assumptions of what it's like to be LGBTQI, think you know what is best for them and what rights they should have, because unless you live it... You don't really have a good grasp of any of it and thus shouldn't get a say IMHO.

That has more to do with how their family, friends and people around in their daily lives treat them, normal life stuff and their individual brain chemistry for their depression/other issues.

To that bolded part, fuck that noise. I get to have a say because I'm a free thinking individual. I don't have to be a part of some club to have a say. What kind of backwards logic is that? That's really just a lame excuse for not having to defend your opinions and ideas from criticism. Do you not realize if you applied that same sort of crap universally, how silly shit would become? A white person saying you can't have a say on white issues unless your white. Besides, that line of thinking is extremely divise. Progressives....  Every person has a say regardless of their sex/gender, orientation, race, nationality, etc.

Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder. People with that disorder have a lot of mental issues that accompany it like how other disorders do.

That's a little bit of a generalization and not accurate.

You said it yourself about depression and suicides. Let's be real. The vast majority of people with gender dysphoria have a variety degrees of depression and similar issues, would you agree with that? It's similar with the ones who transitioned but it's not as bad right?
