That's just science That's just making sure That's just doing your due diligence as a medical professional And if, sometimes, you don't swoop in quite early enough and they actually succeed in killing themselves, well, price of doing business

TERFs love to accuse trans people of weaponizing suicide the way abusers do and it never gets through their thick fucking skulls that THEY MADE THAT THE ONLY OPTION Cis people wouldn't just let you do what you wanted with your own fucking body unless the alternative was death

Jesse is advocating monstrous abuse here -- "You should've pushed back on that and kept telling your daughter she was a son and seen if she started cutting or something" -- and treating it like the humane, common-sense, scientific way to raise a kid God fuck him

The "suicide argument" has always been a corner people back into "If you don't let gay people be gay, some of them will kill themselves" "If you don't let women work outside the home, some of them will kill themselves" It's a last resort nuclear argument

And it fucking sucks because no one should want to have to go there We should be having the conversation of just *letting people do what they want and be happy* before suicide even gets on the table But fucking gatekeepers won't let you, they demand proof you're really serious

But so the fuck what Why should people accept that that kind of life is the best you can fucking do How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to *congratulate* yourself over this fact "Well they all said he'd kill himself but instead he lived a long and godly life"

I was disheartened to learn that my lesbian Aunt believes that young trans men are more accepted than young butch lesbians and has taken the view that trans healthcare should be less accessible as a result, rather than raising acceptance for everyone regardless.

If the problem is 'society won't accept people who don't fit in certain boxes' the solution is to change society, not beat people into the boxes you prefer so they have it 'easier'.

Yeah I mean ultimately it's better just not to have the argument Who gives a shit what people "really" are If people find that transition makes their lives better and happier, FOR ANY REASON, you should fucking let them do it
