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.

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.

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.

Who jokes about suicide rates from any group?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

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

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.

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.
