I wonder how she feels about being lectured by suicide prevention specialists to never portray suicide as positively socially impactful to avoid suicide contagion You know, like Sarah Ditum did in that big article concern trolling about Leelah Alcorn https://twitter.com/FondOfBeetles/status/1270275079885205504?s=20 …

People are WAY more consistent on the "mental health" angle when it comes to telling you what you must or mustn't say about celebrity suicide than they are about misgendering Why don't you go complain about that https://twitter.com/FondOfBeetles/status/1270296715707461639?s=20 …

Personally, I dislike the mental health framing here The reason not to misgender isn't to protect trans people's fragile mental health, it's to *not be a prick* It's because respect for other people's identity is a basic moral obligation

And yet it's true that there's a mental health component that's a real concern and always a concern, even when weighed against issues of free speech or competing moral or practical obligations

It's why Twitter will automatically suspend you for telling someone the world would be better off without them if they died, because those sentiments can be triggering for people suffering from suicidality, even when the person you're saying is a bigoted piece of shit

Oh well We all have things we'd like to say but can't say because of the mental health professionals Such is life
