I hate how people act like suicidality is an inherent part of being trans or GNC. Not confirming to the sex role that was expected of you isn& #39;t a tragic condition that just makes you want to die. Isolation, social/familial rejection, and internalizing ideas like this does.

Telling young people (often literal children) that they& #39;re ticking time bombs unless they do specific things is insanely harmful. When you tell people they& #39;re doomed, you create self fulfilling prophecies.
I never believed that being a healthy, socially active, functional adult with a partner who loves me was an option. I had been told that my future was something to be terrified of, that I was going to have a "difficult life" because of who I am.
If I was just going to die young anyway, why would I have any reason to plan for my future? To take care of myself physically or emotionally? If I was fucked because of circumstances beyond my control (in this case the fact that society hates GNC people), why waste the effort?
