Huh. Seemed pretty obvious to me. That your claim about the posting habits of others is specious in light of your own. Based on your seeming logic, one might be led to believe that you are obsessed with transgenders.
Not sure what you're trying to prove.
But like you said, this thread is not about me so i'm not sure why you decided to make a post about me and post my post history of the short time i've been here to try and defend your little buddies. hehe.

There is no such thing as gender dysphoria, and no amount of mumbo jumbo science will convince me otherwise.
Oh that darn mumbo jumbo science. Why can't we go back to being cave men, beating each other up with clubs and dragging our women around by their hair? Who needs science anyway? Combustible engines, the discovery of the atom, antibiotics, the invention of flight, learning about bacteria , how diseases work... bah! Worthless!

Im sorry you feel like you are losing a fight but I don't understand what you are fighting for? To keep children from transitioning?
If I had a transgendered child (and I've fully thought about this) I would definitely want that child to be happy so I would allow him to choose their clothes and even a manly name if that is what made him happy.
You can tell if your child is happy or not, and who wouldn't want their child to be happy.
Maybe or maybe not, when he hits puberty he may want to take the needed hormones to further his transition, I would guide and support him all the way.
The happiness of my child is the most important, I would not want to stand in the way of that.
Buying a pony, etc is not the same happiness. My child is sad that I will not buy her an applaloosa horse, that is not the sadness I speak of. There is a certain type of sadness, it lasts longer than 2 mins of not getting a horse that you want. It can turn into a depression if not attended to, a depression that one will refuse to recognize the source of. That is the sadness I hope a parent will ever have to come across or a child experience.

You know the best way to stop them killing themselves?
1. Fix society so that they aren't hated and shunned as "freaks"
2. Allow trans kids to start transitioning according to the process recommended by the experts in the field. Research is showing that the younger the transition starts (before the permanent effects of puberty), the happier the kids/young adults tend to be.

Am I increasing your suicide risk by stating my opinion?
So this extremely low percentage of people with a disorder don't need to be fixed the majority of people who have differing opinions about it need to be "fixed" or what you really mean is you want to shut them up because it will be too triggering?

In English please.
It's like you are repeating this meme:

all people are important and deserve respect and no discrimination...even the small percentages of people
Ignorant disrespectful ramblers (like you) should either start respecting people as they would like to be respected (your mother should have taught you this) or keep your mouth shut.
The consequences are fines and jailtime.
Its not necessarily being "fixed" but forcing society to be nice and respectful of each other. You can look it as forcing you to be a better person. The only people who do not like this are the small percentage of miserable hateful people who unfortunately have the biggest mouths.

People who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria work with a whole team of doctors who help them live their lives as the gender they identify with. That is the standard accepted treatment. I would ask you the same question I asked Dr. samerulesapply: how would YOU "fix" them, and what is your success rate, Dr. jasminne?
Do you care about why they are killing themselves, or not? I just told you why.
