Maybe there’s a survival bias in your circle of friends?

Nothing special to trans here: by passing through the same hardships, different people might not get all stronger, some might just give up life all together. So only those who went stronger will meet.

There absolutely is a survival bias. I should have phrased my comment better because my point wasn't that all trans people get stronger by what they go through.

I was trying to say that the comment isn't transphobic at all, and if people think stuff like this is the reason why trans people kill themselves then they're probably blind to the actual transphobia that happens in the world.

Also, I strongly believe that we shouldn't be restricting language out of fear of being offensive, because then people become too afraid to talk about important issues.
