Welcome to TransLogic!
This is the Radical Feminist Circle to document the various illogical, incorrect, misogynistic, racist, and otherwise caustic rhetoric spouted from TRAs themselves.
The lies, misinformation, threats of extreme violence, and the dehumanization of women who dare speak up against this misogynistic, racist and conservatively homophobic ideology are legion. Trans activists' stochastic terrorism has already turned to real world violence against women and children.
Use this Circle to record what they say -In Their Own Words-
Note: this circle is also to showcase the lies, fallacies, and misogyny of men in general, whether or not they are trans-identified. This can include MRAs, TRAs, or just your average Joe.
Rules updated as of 8 Sep 2022.
Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.

That’s such a good point, and it really highlights how damaging the way this story was reported could potentially be.
There’s a charity, The Samaritans, who help suicidal people (and more).
They have a very thoughtful, well researched and considerate set of guidelines advised for the reporting of suicides in the media.
I really wish “ lgbtq nation” had read this, and hope that they will in the future.

Something rotten is happening in that house.
Also, we are told over and over that acceptance and affirmation keeps them from killing themselves. This family accepted him and he still died. It’s a mental health issue.
One-hundred percent. Usually you won't see any sort of suicides where the family/friends was there for them and listened to them. I have a feeling he was being neglected and his mother is just using his death as a means of getting attention. Extremely pathetic on her end.
Archive link so we don’t have to give that website clicks…

Oh, sorry! Yes, please click on this link instead.
All good! I always forget to put the archive link in, so I’m trying to train myself better!
What is unknown is whether this person would have been helped with therapy which helped sort our the source of the mental health issues rather than jumping on the most popular bandwagon.
This is just so sad. Only 18 years old.
May you rest in peace Haley.
An entire family of TIPs. Wonderful.
It is not life saving, and it is very much so cosmetic. If your son was struggling with suicidal thoughts, you put him in psychotherapy or a mental hospital. You don't complain to an insurance firm that your son 'needs' this surgery to live and that they should pay for it, but rather put him in a mental hospital they can pay for.
So again, if this surgery determined life or death, you would probably do anything you could to collect enough money to do the surgery. From what I understand you are somewhere in the middle class, so take a loan out, make him get a job, etc. Or even better, find an alternative they will pay for like therapy or a mental hospital.
What happened to your son is horrible, but you can't rely on society to be a cake walk for your son just because he wants to be a girl. That's taking free speech from people just because your son was too fragile to confront the fact he was male. From the looks of it, there were signs that he was falling into this pit of depression. He locked himself in his room, became quiet, etc. That is your responsibility, as his mother, to help him get out of it. You do not get to turn around and blame other people when something goes wrong.
No one with good mental health adopts a gender identity. So, if an entire family is trans-identified ... It just a recipe for dysfunction and sorrow
