Transactivists 'must stop invoking suicide'

About time someone with knowledge in this field stepped up and said this

Unless they've been saying it for years but it's just now being reported. I've never understood why tras and tra organisations got a pass over this, when everyone else is very careful. Even being very careful about reporting the suicide of someone in the public eye, usually reported as a sudden death.

I think even organisations that do know better (I think it was the Samaritans?) throw sense, truth and compassion out the window.

I thought this article deserved its own thread.

And if the tras* could lay off the death and rape threats too. You know, actually behave like decent human beings, instead of just identifying as decent, that would be nice.

Sorry - one link goes to page not found and the other just goes back to the paywalled article.

See if this works

I have read it before. It's chilling in it's coldbloodedness. And, as the title says, remarkable.

I don't believe it excuses the organisations, such as the Samaritans. They should know how manipulative people can be and should guard against it.

I do wonder if there's some quid pro quo going on. It's not a conspiracy theory to say some of the backers of this have very deep pockets.

Yes! Thank you @IcakethereforeIam - off to read it now.

Not to do with suicide but an article by James Esses elucidates another underhanded transactivist tactic: www.jamesesses.com/p/deception-liesand-katy-montgomerie
