...a heartbreaking story... about an 18-yr-old who tried to take her own life after her dreams of becoming a doctor were dashed and her family sold her into a forced marriage with a cousin who is addicted to heroin.

#MomsforLiberty is a #hateGroup, and a #terrorist organization. It's just that simple. They are dedicated to using weaponized #disinformation and outright #lies to actively #harm the #LGBTQ community. Their goal is the #eradication of #gay and #trans people, and a cultural shift in which the LGBTQ community is shunned and demonized in #society. Their benchmark for success is a growing rate of #suicide among gay and trans people. These #monsters are #evil.

A quotation from Kierkegaard, Soren:

«««««
I have just now come from a party where I was its life and soul; witticisms streamed from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away — yes, the dash should be as long as the radius of the earth’s orbit ——————————— and wanted to shoot myself.

"The act of suicide was viewed on a moral and legal spectrum; exactly where along this spectrum the deceased was placed depended on how the judicial system and the community interpreted the emotional state of the deceased."

Just saw a commercial for the suicide prevention hotline. Right after the telephone number, there was fine print, saying "message and data rates may apply." You'd think the #telcos could figure how to make message and data rates NOT apply to calls to the #suicide prevention hotline.

I do not believe that #suicide is always bad. I do not believe that suicide should always be prevented. I believe that it should be a right given to individuals, and it should be well-regulated and humanely provided. I believe that if society shared this view on #suicide that it would solve a lot of societal problems.
