“If I had not been able to transition, I would have killed myself.” I see this sentence a lot. It’s means more to me, because I used to say it – and I used to believe it. It makes me sad, and it makes me angry. But it means even more than that. 1/5
I'm glad that you're doing better and that transition helped you. I never said it wasn't true for other trans people. I know people like you whose suicidal ideation ended after transition. I was suicidal pre-transition. And for years after, I felt better. Until I didn't.
