    I’m surprised suicides haven’t gone up dramatically in the 1st worlds over the past 10 years. Especially since 2020.

    Not only for LGBT but everyone. The world feels evil these days and it seems escapism and arrogance is considered the respected way to “properly” live.

      Obesity and other addiction issues are killing people by the millions. Sure it’s less dramatic than guns and ropes but it’s the same thing.

    First a coverup:

    alarmed by a spike in suicides among transgender youth following severe restrictions on care in the aftermath of the Bell v Tavistock ruling. This information was never made public, with administrators concerned that it could cause reputational damage

    Then a coverup to disguise the coverup:

    the UK government commissioned a report, known as the Appleby Report, that claimed there were only a handful of suicides and denied any increase, with many anti-trans political figures and activists then patting themselves on the back and absolving themselves of any blame.

    Yes that’s how to run public health services! These people are disgusting. 🤢 🤮
