It never fails to amuse me -- in that kind of bitter ironic "oh, humanity, how you never fail to become the thing you hate" fashion -- that people who once wailed about voices being silenced and certain (favored) people being "erased" or being told that they should not be alive have effortlessly rotated to complaining that someone out there should not exist.
I have never said that the person should not exist. Please refrain from interpreting my comment in bad faith.
I am just sad that these opinions still exist. And I am more saddened that people think it is helpful or furthers the discussion to post these opinions. Suicide rates among trans people are definitly a topic to be discussed, but seeing the rest of the comment, I just cant shake the feeling that it was twisted in a way to support a talking point that was just _mean_ and ill-intentioned.
"It is a shame that there still exist people out there ..." is not exactly ambiguous. People, then Exist.
If you want to be taken with as much charity as you think you deserve, try "it's a shame that person holds that opinion" and then go on as to why. But you didn't, you went straight for "exists" and left it there.
I think it was very clear what I was trying to say, and it was sincerly not calling for the eradication of people or whatever you are making out of it. Please stop being obtuse.
Contrast with flat-earthers. Despite all the proof that the earth is round, some people still believe that the world is flat, and their detractors belong to a mind-controlling conspiracy. You can be sad about folks believing that without calling for their violent eradication.
