LMAO, true!
You know what’s funny (and sad actually)? Same-sex marriage isn’t a thing in my country. So a year ago, all I could do with my bf was something called a “registered partnership”, which is a bit…shit tbh.
Buuuuut, now I’m literally legally female, which means I can marry my man. Which is nice 🩷
It sucks that it works like that tho. Anyone should be allowed to marry the person they love :P
Uh, are you sure the rate is this high? I have heard this figure too but I recall hearing it’s not about successful suicides (i.e. suicide rate) but about something broader involving suicides. Rate of suicidial ideation/contemplation maybe? Not sure.
Regardless, mandatory SRS will make many transfem people choose not to legally transition. That’s why similar laws in western nations (albeit only mandating SRS for legally changing official gender) were/are so awful.
I guess only criminalizing some transfems instead of all transfems is better but like only by a hair.
I hear that suicidal ideation was 80%, and suicide attempts were 40%, successful suicides will be a little lower. Substantially lower with puberty blockers / HRT / surgeries.
Mandating surgery is still bad though, taking away people’s bodily autonomy is always bad.
