If any other sub-category of people in the United States experienced a 72% rate increase in suicide attempts due to recent hateful state legislation and governance, this would be a national health priority.
I consider such hateful laws to be hate crimes at a state level.
effin dumbass eugenics
@Priestess @Kaysymmetry A few years ago, the Williams Institute survey showed the #transgender community had an overall 41% suicide attempt rate. To this day, the right uses that 41% number as an attack on us
The effin dumbasses (please pardon my angered 🤬 phrasing) either do not realize how big a part of it is all the laws and roadblocks against the T community, and difficulty in prosecuting employment discrimination, other discriminations, and hate crime assault cases...
... or, even worse, perhaps they do!!
@Priestess @Kaysymmetry I believe they do. But like with everything else, a conservative doesn't care until it directly affects them.
