But the depression and suicide that often happens post transition is always associated with how society reacts to their transition. After years of study on this topic, we now know the depression/suicide has nothing to do with their transition. It's brought on by the people around them who see them now that their body physically reflects the self they've always known, and reject it.
I am just sad that these opinions still exist. And I am more saddened that people think it is helpful or furthers the discussion to post these opinions. Suicide rates among trans people are definitly a topic to be discussed, but seeing the rest of the comment, I just cant shake the feeling that it was twisted in a way to support a talking point that was just _mean_ and ill-intentioned.
If you want to be taken with as much charity as you think you deserve, try "it's a shame that person holds that opinion" and then go on as to why. But you didn't, you went straight for "exists" and left it there.
