I'm subscribed to a lot of weird/fringe subreddits; one of the weirdest is r/gendercritical. They say a lot of standard radical leftist stuff like the rest of my radical left subs but then they have this strain of 'trans women are DANGEROUS MEN' and it surprises me every time

The suicide rate among male to female transitions is around forty percent or so. Suicide rate among very high IQ people is not remotely comparable.

I think it only explains a small part when compared to stuff like preexisting depression providing impetus to transition (it's easier to take a big risk when you don't have much to lose), unrealistic expectations for transition, social marginalization, and lack of social support.

Pretty sure that's a marginal contributor, at most. High suicide rate among trans people has a whole lot more to do with the depression that comes with living a very confused and ambiguous life. Cogintive dissonance and dysmorphia are killers, in any manifestation.

I wonder what you'd make of the litany of research suggesting that depression rates among trans women decline as transition progresses.

Oh, they think they're women because they're too smart to be men. I'm starting to get the gist of this now.
