Similarly, talking frankly about suicide in the trans community may normalize it as a response to anti-trans legislation, and this may contribute to people's vulnerability in some cases.
But the alternative is to tie advocates hands behind their back when fighting the root causes.

I was a dyed-in-the-wool believer in best practices in writing about suicide. In better times I'd gladly return to those best practices. But in 2026 trans people's suicides are actively sought by poltical leaders who are only too happy for trans people to mince our words.
