There’s nothing to “politicize” here. When eight times as many transgender adults attempt suicide as non-trans people and when eighty times as many end up actually killing themselves, when one trans person is murdered every three days and “gay panic” can successfully be used as a legal defense for straight men murdering trans women, when, on a global scale, the average lifespan of a transgender person is only 23 years… For trans people, the personal is already pretty fucking political.
