"In order to make sure a guy doesn't lose his man card, gender roles and gender presentation must be limited to two. If any lines are not clearly visible, a cis het man might accidentally cross one of them. And that must be avoided at all costs."

‘Transgender for everyone’? - Dallas Voice

“Transgender for everyone.” I keep thinking of this bizarre and oddly-worded claim by President Trump. A claim he’s made many times. What would that look like, exactly? Does it mean that everyone makes a transgender friend? I can totally get behind that. Sounds nice. The number of transgender people in the U.S. is, while unknown, […]

Atop all of this is “save the dates” scribble underlined and “Trans+ History Week 04-10 May 2026”

Caveats - suicide is rare, and the overall numbers are small, so percentages aren't as meaningful as they could be. One more or less suicide by a trans kid would appreciably shift the "percentage of suicides by trans kids."

EVEN THEN, 7% of child suicides in the UK being trans kids is sobering.

Natacha @natacha.bsky.social · 5h

The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population.

Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

LGBTQ+ children make up 16.6 per cent of the children recorded as dying by suicide in England, QueerAF can reveal 👇
