Truth is what will help them not be suicidal. Lies - like pretending eg: a man is a woman - is cruel and likely contributes to depression, anxiety and suicide.
No, the type of cruelty you dish out is what likely contributes to depression, anxiety, and suicide. When you tell teenagers, as you do, that they are sexual deviants or that they are mentally ill because they are attracted to the same sex or identify with the opposite gender, you inflict cruel, damaging mental abuse on them. Why you would choose to do that after being cruelty abused yourself is baffling to me. Why would you choose to do that?
You’ve spread the kind of false and misleading propaganda that is used to justify assaulting, jailing, and even killing gay folk. If you want truth, here’s truth for you: when people are not forced by society to fit into rigidly defined gender roles based solely on their genetilia, how they relate to sex and gender is pretty damn fluid. And, unless their heads are filled with anti-gay propaganda from busybodies like you, the kids who do fit into the rigid stereotypes are pretty darn supportive of kids that don’t. You’re not spreading truth — you’re spreading hate based on your arrogant assumption that you know what’s best.
Maybe I don’t understand the effects of abuse. Maybe this is what they refer to as the cycle of abuse. I just don’t get why someone who suffered abuse at the hand of a human would turn around and inflict abuse on other humans.
