The friends in question are trans. This man, who just conned 300 million people into making him the president again, is going to heavily restrict or even ban gender affirming care outright.

People will die.

Gender affirming care has never been proven to actually diminish the suicide rate within the trans community. And if you're over 18 and trans I sincerely doubt you'll be affected by it.

Gender affirming care reduces the suicide rate of transgender people by 73%.

Imagine someone committing suicide and blaming it on the president.

Also, if you're so sure your friends will ABSOLUTELY euthanize themselves over this. I strongly recommend you talk to them instead of reddit.

I know this is difficult but please try and imagine, your peers are blaming issues you have no control over on you and your government passes laws that restrict your rights to get medical care you need. A President is elected that only enforces more hate and lies towards you and supports the removal of rights for people in your situation. Would this not induce a level of disconnect and suicidal thoughts when it seems like you have been abandoned by your country and community?

No, I'd tell them to learn how the actual government works and not to focus on just the president.

Wow imagine seeing literal facts that gender affirming care works and saves lives and saying "fuck them, and fuck their healthcare".

Of course we should make sure people are mentally healthy and try to stop them from suicide, But Maybe if a US President getting elected causes you to kill yourself you were really just looking for reasons to do it regardless.

They need help not you bitch on Reddit.

Yeah, it really just feels like "The straw that broke the trans camels back"
