Imagine we joked about cisgender men suicide rates the same way we joke about transgender suicide rates.

Plus this statistic is flawed. It comes from an older study that does not even compare pre- to post- transition.

People who joke like that are disgusting.

I don’t care who you are, if your best option is suicide, we failed you and we should be sorry.

In fact, the American Psychological Association warns that manhood and masculinity are so construed by society’s expectations, that being a man poses mental health risks itself.

There is a whole subdiscipline that focuses on 'counseling men".

Not to mention no one of this lot wants to have this discussion, either online or IRL.

I think the Adolf Hitler suicide rate is too low.

I’d say 100% is perfectly fine. He just needs to work on his timing.

In my experience? The people in modmail on trans communities. At least once a week.

That is literally exactly what is happening. MtF transwomen are considered men by haters and hence get the male treatment of crass jokes and lack of support.

Transphobia is the intersection of misandry and toxic masculinity and all of it is gross.

I’ve been playing with this thought for a while, and it’s nice to see someone else express it
