People use to say that you cant lie with statistics, but is a common practice to use statistics to lie.
We can take the infamous 41% suicide rate for trans people. Transphobes throw that out like a killing move implying that trans people are inherently unhappy and being trans is a mental illness (which is not true).
The reality is that the suicide rate is so high because of transphobia, kids getting thrown out of home, homelessness, unable to find a job, staying at the closet to avoid social consecuences, etc.
Trans people who live in more open and accepting environments are way less likely to be depressed and commit suicide. In progresive areas where trans people are more accepted the suicide rate is nowhere near 41%.
But maybe online dating is not the right place to find a long lasting relationship if you want that. It's very rare that you actually find someone ready to settle down on a dating app.
I suggest you just enjoy it until you find someone who wants the same as you in this time of their life.
Yeah, we don't want to become reddit mods. They have been power tripping for too many years and live sad lives, and the stereotype was just proven true when spes threatened to strip them from their power. We can be so much better than fucking reddit mods.
