@Vengabus
Is that why the suicide rate amongst trans people is 66%?
what you’re describing there is called “pessimism” and “fatalism”

@AdmiralPrune no. And the reason the suicide rate is high amongst trans people is complex. Reasons are as follows;
1. Interpersonal Rejection and Isolation
2. High Rates of Hostility and Abuse
3.Barriers to Care and Identity Affirmation

@AdmiralPrune I mean honestly. You’re only hearing what you want to hear. I’ve explained to you that being trans is a biological reality. I’ve explained that society and OTHER PEOPLE are the reason trans people kill themselves. How much more do I have to say?? It’s not complicated.

I'm sorry but in my opinion trans people need to acknowledge that their beliefs are extreme and family members will have a hard time accepting the changes they make. Give your Mom a break, you are essentially telling her to forget the person you were growing up...the child she raised...
Maybe focus on the good memories she is creating by being in your son's life.
Maybe not make it about you and your identity. 🤷♂

@SumKindaMunster I’ve tried for 34 years not be transgender. You need to actually read about the subject before you make comments. Read some books on gender identity, identity and its formation, sex and brain development in the womb and its effects. Listen to transgender people, and stop assuming you understand when you’ve clearly done no work at all.

@SumKindaMunster I’ll even get you started;
1. Existing as yourself is not a "belief system," nor is it "extreme, or political ideology.
2. Transitioning does not erase your childhood, your memories, or the fact that your parents raised you. Nobody is asking anyone to get amnesia.
3. Being a decent grandparent does not grant someone a free pass to inflict emotional harm on their adult child.
4. Don’t demand that trans people centre other people’s comfort, sense of nostalgia, and other people’s feelings regarding their own lives, while simultaneously accusing them of being the selfish one for simply existing.
