So the general population's suicide rate in the US is 1.6 %. Post-op transsexual suicide rate is about 4.1%. Hundreds of times higher than general population so sex changes aren't the solution, obviously. Besides, you know, the 41% suicide rate of pre-op transgender people. 1000x reduction in the risk of suicide for the treatment of what the APA now considers a birth defect, not a mental illness.
But whatever. I'm arguing with a guy who has a quote about hentai and tentacles in his sig. Look I have nothing to gain by convincing you of anything.
I'm almost positively going to join that 41% so it's an issue that I feel is kinda a big deal and a little more real than you give it credit for. Try to be less of a dick. Later.
