lol so I guess you didn’t read more of the article you posted than the tl;dr section at the top of if which you copy/pasted.

The entire premise in the article of denying any kind of gender-affirming treatment is what I was responding to. Whether or not that translates into a difference in suicide stats, negative perception of gender-affirming treatment prevents the quality of life outcomes that come along with that treatment and further drives people to suicide, but also diminished social acceptance and therefore a lower quality of life.

In other words, suicide isn’t the only negative effect, and it’s can be a more indirect one than a single study like this can show.

Just refer to people the way they want to be referred to and respect their wishes. Isn’t that what we all want?
