OMG JUST STOP

you working on a spreadsheet?

 

[Coqui]

So, Transgendered and All other bullied kids should have similar suicide rates?

Please, go on.

No, they're higher. Bullied kids don't tend to get disowned by their parents.

If you were born with a dick you will always be a man no matter what your messed up brain thinks.

 

[Amstel]

No, they're higher. Bullied kids don't tend to get disowned by their parents.

So you can factor in the perception of 'being disowned by your parents' in suicide rates.

It's good to know it's chartable. Where is that chart?

 

[gee]

I disagree entirely.

<derp>

Yeah, because transphobia doesn't exist at all, and trans people get treated exactly the same as everyone else by society. It's their fault!

No. Please don't misunderstand me. it's 100% society to blame for everything.

I got the memo.

Well the number sure as shit isn't 0%...

Suicide is the third leading cause of death according to the Center for Disease Control. It results in about 4,400 deaths per year. Bullied victims are 7 to 9% more likely to consider suicide according to a study by Yale University. Studies in Britain have found half of the suicides among youth related to bullying.Jul 30, 2014

The prevalence of suicide attempts among respondents to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), conducted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and National Center for Transgender Equality, is 41 percent, which vastly exceeds the 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population who report a lifetime

[Coqui]

So 9% vs 41%


Hmmm

meh... bruce can be a girl all HE/SHE wants ... its his dick/his tits/his life

 

[my little brony]

You're ticklish?

like disturbingly so. most girls I've slept with have discovered that my back is absurdly sensitive to light touches and can basically turn me into putty

it's like one step below tickling because I hate being tickled but when they do it right it's the most intense feeling in the world

FYSA it's not a perception. trans kids get disowned by their god fearing christian parents quite often

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I think amstel has been having a stroke for the past few years

I know. This crap exists everywhere. Unapproved of relationships, career choices, sexuality, lots of stupidity.

There can be a relationship, but it's not the sole cause. The whole 'correlation doesn't = causation' comes to mind.

I think you are underestimating a perceived "sexual deviation" Becoming a mechanic instead of a doctor doesn't get kids disowned near as much as being trans or homosexual. In fact the only people I know who were 'disowned' by family members were because something they did went against a religion. Fortunately no one I personally know were let down by parents, but uncles, aunts, grandparents etc have disowned friends of mine for being gay or similar.

what? I'm not sure how that relates to trans kids being disowned

a parent being disappointed that a kid became a mechanic instead of a lawyer is not the same as a parent disowning their child and kicking them out of the house simply for how they were born

 

[Amstel]

@helenabear, while it's clearly fashionable to be overly sympathetic to everyone, my recognition of it isn't 'belittling' anything.

I don't do drama queens. IDGAF what the problem is.

 

[my little brony]

shit I swear I didn't read helena's post before I wrote mine I almost said doctor but changed to lawyer at the last minute for some raisin

yep, lets get on this.
