Discussion Trans suicide

[wilting_flower]

One of the sadder parts of being on this site is just how many other trans folks I see posting. if you're reading this and you're trans, I love you. you're a beautiful person, existing despite your circumstances, and if you leave, you will still leave a firey imprint in this world, that you are and always were more than most could see.

I needed to hear that more then you'd ever know... I get constantly told to stay alive and that being alive is important for trans people... it is but if you honestly can't keep going... go out in a explosion of pride

being trans is the main reason i want to kill myself. i will never be a man no matter what i do. i'm stuck in this disgusting female body with nowhere to go.

It's difficult to know that close to half of the trans people I have known personally have ctb and about 95 percent have attempted .... a majority have substance abuse issues , self harm and or have a eating disorder. It makes me sick how horrible people treat us and everyday I wish I could join into the statistics of trans suicide ....
Being trans is both the best and worst thing that can happen to a person.

I feel that, all my trans friends irl have mental health issues due to the current society we live in and how bad the state of politics is :(

If one is a thinking caring person, then one knows the issue is more than just "pronouns". Depending on the source, Trans kids are about 6 x more likely to either think about suicide or actively attempt than cis or hetero kids. Those are staggering statistics. If using the preferred pronouns can reduce the incidence of suicide, then why is it even an issue? And the whole argument about identifying as a "cat", etc. is simply a bull-shit argument that has no basis in reality. It is the same as the Stella Awards which are made up by the insurance industry to discredit lawyers and the civil court system.

As one of the older folks on this forum, I can't fathom what it is like everyday to have your mental health questioned. Anyone who is openly trans has to have more courage than I can imagine. But, know there are people who are pulling for you to succeed. I am one of them even though I'm not sure I actually know any trans people. I believe that the quality of a person is based on what is inside their heart and not their pants.

As someome who just entered I'm so glad to learn this is a safe space. This thread has filled me with so much hope you wouldnt believe. Thank you all <3

 

[lanadelreyisgod223]

the fact this is literally a site meant for suicidal people and some retarded bigoted guy comes on here to say it's "all mental stuff!!" and spews hatred. well yes it's obviously mental? no one would be on here if they weren't suffering from severe mental health issues that make them feel better off going through with CTB. what a fucking idiot.

Why is it that you label yourself and section yourself into a group?

what's so awful about fuckers like him is on some level, they know that trans people were exposed in utero to a different prenatal hormone environment

they are not actually that ignorant, they are just fucking mean bullies

and they always justify their bullying through imaginary made up religious bullshit

Can you explain what you mean by being trans is the best thing that can happen to someone? Im cis but wouldn't most trans folk rather that they were born their preferred gender

 

[LonelyPrince]

Yeah being trans makes me wanna fucking kill myself. No one gets it and life becomes impossible to get through

I don't know how to explain.

Sense of community and solidarity

People like words to describe experiences that they have and talking too people with similar experiences.

Since you're on a forum full of suicidal people sharing their thoughts and methods on the topic I don't understand how this is a foreign concept to you

I relate. I keep having ideas of getting a transphobe to kill me because they want me dead anyway, but I know that they probably hate us so much that it wouldn't be a peaceful end, even if they say it would be.

That's not really the question I was asking.

It's less of that it's a foreign concept and more like one I can't connect very well with so I ask questions to understand it.

It's a sensitive topic because of how much hatred is pushed onto trans people. And to answer your question because community is best for minority groups ... it's similar to keeping your friends close.

no one cares shut up

HOLY SHIT how did you get into sasu LMAOOOOOOO

bro is living on mars in year 1960

random violent transphobe writing textbook transphobia in the thread is crazy to see. 2019 time traveler. "bro is living on mars" made me laugh, so thanks for that. it's really so disgusting that people still try to make room for transphobia and misogyny in every space of the internet, even though there's literally no need to be doing that.

Being trans is both the best and worst thing that can happen to a person.

my internalized transphobia and homophobia just makes me want to huddle in my room and berate myself because i feel like a constant stereotype every day and like i need to "avoid" acting like a woman, even though my personality and interests are inherently feminine. i do like being able to connect with trans people, but it also feels like i can barely have anything in common with trans people but they'll still try to be friends with me because there's barely any trans people that live in my nowhereville town. it's very depressing to be a young trans person living in texas because i feel like only my small circle friends can even understand why i feel the way i do. and that makes me want to distance myself because i'm scared of being so negative that i lose them. it feels taboo to say that i actively hate being trans and that it gives me suicidal thoughts, even though i know a lot of trans people think the same thing because of the sasu community.

overall, it's like, i used to actually like being trans when i was earlier into my transition. but i realized that life is so much easier if i stay closeted because no one wants me hear to explain that i go by he/him or that i want to be see as a man if i'm becoming friends with a cis person or reconnecting with old high school friends. no one around me cares because they just think i look girly or tomboyish. but it also feels so privileged to complain about this kind of thing when there's real suffering in the world, and i'm just trans. it feels like stolen valor to complain about my life when i'm still closeted. i envy trans people that pass and get gendered properly because they fit into the gender binary while i can't. i'm obviously going to care about how i'm perceived, but it's so easy to be incredibly jealous of people who have it "figured out" already after months or years of transitioning. i hate that i envy people for being happy, because that's not right either.

the majority of the time, it's very lonely and depressing to be trans. i wish that i actually wanted to detransition or was capable of it. but i can't. i've been like this, even if the people around don't understand or accept it.
