Sharing – ‘Relentless’ online anti-trans stigma damages mental health: study

I don’t care about your politics or your religion; if we can’t agree that causing harm to a specific group of people is something we should not do, you and I are not going to agree on much.

What we are seeing online and in the media and from people who are supposed to be caring leaders is causing harm:

A new Australian study has linked more frequent exposure to anti-trans stigma with a statistically higher prevalence of anxiety, depression, self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

We should care about preventing suicide and supporting people in their mental health struggles, not causing more of it.
