At a suicide rate 9 times that of the general population, those who are convinced that they were born the wrong gender need psychiatric help, not coddling of their mental illness.
Advocates that ignore the mental health aspect of this psychiatric condition are basically killing transsexuals with their misdirected kindness.
Can I interest you in a piece of rope?
Seems like they are taking care of the situation. Keep up the good work and these creeps will self exterminate.
OK, somebody has to say what I know many are thinking. I’ll do it so y’all can dump on me. Ain’t I a pal?
Transgenders are committing suicide and need help. Do they want drugs, guns, knives, or tall building roof access?
Seems I was a tad slow with my post… (-:
Well…. the Left is all about eugenics and “assisted suicide”. So, maybe this is just either a natural outcome of Left-think, or perhaps it’s their way of thinning their herd.
Just sayin’…
Any Doctor that advocates that a person who suffers from this disorder, should act out his symptoms (dressing like the opposite sex, getting surgery etc.) should be stripped of their license and tarred and feathered.
These people are ill and acceptance of this condition is failure of the Hippocratic ideal.
The reason they play this game is because if this is a ‘disorder’ (with possibly a cure) then homosexuality is as well.
The left cannot abide this concept, falsely believing that the human race has several inherent sexual identities instead of the originally issued two.
When politics drives medical policy people die.
Where’s the pool on Bruce?
I give him less than five years.
Age is not kind to transsexuals
“Transgenders Need Help”….ummm….no shit?
….a good, honking dose of Syria, Sudan, Egypt, etc.?
See ya, bye…
Tell FDR I sed Hi.
They need to turn away from Satan and embrace God.
Keep their knickers up.
Celibacy is better than some Satanic perversion.
Help is available: if they seek, they shall find.
I suppose we’ll be hearing more of Bruce Jenner in the news in the coming months. He’ll blame on people like us who have made fun of him. Well, when you put a bra on, make up, and you still have a schlong what does one expect? Certainly not acceptance – because he isn’t NORMAL! Suicide is a choice. The world does not stop turning because you decided to do yourself in.
FFS. ALL those liberal sexual freakshows need help – from the quees on down to all 26 of the new genders. They are tortured souls and need counselling – not tolerance!
It’s because they’re oppressed by the “cisgenders” obviously.
Of course they’re attempting to kill themselves …
they’re fucking crazy!
How successful are they?
Do they fuck that up, too?
It’s a mental illness. No guns for you.
Has anyone checked to see if Bruce Jenner has a gun?

I’m OK with coddling them.
Spoil them with “spa treatment”!
A good 10 minutes under water oughta do it.
Thing of giving him one?
*Thinking
Third attempt at posting. first two disappear.
Of course the one that posts has an error from me.
Must be why Barack was crying. His best friends are offing themselves with guns to often.
I am shocked at many of the responses here. Did the posters calling for suicide read the article? Politicians and society are making it extremely difficult for the gender confused to get help. As a parent of a young adult transgender I will not conform to the “realignment” that is expected of me. The therapist that my child sees is a quack. From one side I am pressured to live in a world of delusion, on the other, people are calling for suicide?
And it is 100% among those who found out they dated and were about to have sex with a Tranny.
If these facts, which are always a threat to the progressive left, are ever accepted as true (highly doubtful), they will blame the rest of us for not being “accepting” enough.
They’re human beings; disturbed, troubled human beings.
The author himself, a former transgender admits as much about himself. It wasn’t that he rejected his own gender, or that the world wouldn’t accept his new identity that made him depressed; it’s because the condition comes with depression and suicidal tendencies.
mm I hope you can find a different therapist and get your loved one into better treatment.
And therein lies the progressive trap; to accuse society of being heartless and prejudiced against transgenders till they’re driven to suicide.
No it’s not. The condition comes with depression and a high suicide rate all on it’s own.
But once a progressive latches on to a blame society and all we need is more tolerant crusade, they can’t be persuaded to think in any other terms.
Wow gathering from the low thumb ups there are some here that seem afraid . Afraid of what? Just curious. Have a friend who talked about her brother that turned into a girl. Finally met him er her over Christmas and there is NO way in hell I would put my kids or even myself around him or her anymore. Not sorry if I offended you.
Thanks Dr. Tar. What I have learned first hand is that the transgender community lives in a bubble. Anyone who disagrees they shut out. It is like brainwashing. The therapist was more like a cheerleader for my adult daughter encouraging this lifestyle. Not likely she will want to look for another therapist.
Yes it is freakish. The point of the article though is how difficult it has become to get real help.
But I’m sure that it is MY fault for being normal, just like the hell holes of Chicago and Detroit are my fault for being white, and every rape is my fault for being male!!!!
My ex (divorced her 30 years ago) adopted a daughter….who is now her son. ‘he’ had his tits cut off. there was no couseling or therapy….’just do what you want honey…..stupid bint…that’s why she’s my ex
You want a solution? First you have to identify the problem. The problem is the mental health of the people and the ability to get competent and capable therapists for the troubled people to resolve their problems. Stop with the enabling behavior of the gender reassignment bullshit. There are and can only be two genders. Dont agree, go observe nature. Even in plants there is gender. This is exactly what being PC is resulting in
mmm, I think there’s a bunch of us here that avoid the red meat feeding frenzies that occasionally occur. But since you stepped up I’d like your opinion. This sexually confused thing, at this level, is relatively new. What’s causing it in your opinion? Or has it always been at this level just ignored.
I can only speak from my own experience. I have been trying to understand why my daughter would be so driven to live this way (no surgery, but there is hormone treatment). There is a culture, books, people living it, etc. that she got exposed to while ending a 3 year abusive relationship with boyfriend. It was not physical abuse but mental/verbal abuse. I believe she wanted to escape the expectation of being feminine, since she felt she fell short. I realize this is not every transgenders path, but the culture is there presenting itself as a legitimate option to those who are struggling with identity. I do not believe she is mentally ill, but more socially awkward. She made friends with a female-to-male tg, and felt accepted.
I believe with a good therapist she could work through her confusion. This is what is so frustrating. It can be handled better, but the therapists who specialize in tg encourage their patients to pursue the lifestyle. They make their patients feel good. It is a trap and a scam. From the article, it is now illegal to counsel away from the tg lifestyle in some places.
Wow, tough spot for a parent. The abusive boy friend thing bothers me. I know people that have a natural talent for that sort of thing and I am of the opinion that it can be worse than physical abuse. I want to tell you don’t let her do it. She’ll be sorry some day. But that’s weak since I’m not walking in your shoes. I wish you Gods speed and good luck.
Low self esteem. Somebody other than you needs to tell her things she wants to hear. Tell the shrinks to fuck off and take her in a father daughter fishing trip.
I’ve noticed therapists intend to have you feel good rather than shed yourself of whatever’s bothering you.
Sounds OK until you realize it also applies to sociopaths and all the other dangerous members of society.
Picture Charles Manson or The Joker on the couch being told it’s OK to be himself.
All our marriage counselor accomplished was cementing my ex’s sense of victim-hood in life. Not one effort to have her see her own role in her life and how it brought about her results.
Thank you Brad for the support. Btw, I am her mom. Dad and I are grief stricken. Tried everything, but she is an adult, though young.
PRAYING. Only God can change her heart.
Sorry, I’m batting a solid zero for figuring out the gender of readers here. I wish you good luck and trust your gut. I wish I could help..
No problem taking a guess on my gender. I appreciate you taking the time to try to understand this tg issue better. I never would have thought I would be in this situation. It is a nightmare.
