I am appreciative of people who broadcast their support of trans people with signs like “Trans healthcare is suicide prevention!”... which is true, but it doesn't capture why, and it makes it sound like “Humor them or they will hurt themselves!”

The reason "Trans healthcare is suicide prevention" is because denying trans people affirming care is literally torture, it turns out tortured people often don't want to continue to be tortured.

You don't see people holding signs like “Anesthesia is suicide prevention!”... it's because _ withholding care for physical or psychological pain, when it exists and is easily available, is inhumane _
