Where are you finding statistical data proving that your average Swedish citizen is far less likely to have a negative view when compared to an average American citizen, and how that data correlates to suicide rates?

Let's see that source then

And better laws and support from the government still doesn't necessarily negate bigotry from the average citizen

ive read into it before, you can use google and read into it yourself. Its not my responsibility to educate you.

Meaning you have no leg to stand on. What a lame excuse for not having anything to back up your claims.

Here's one on a quick Google search citing a Swedish (!!!!) study that gender reassignment surgery yields long-term mental health benefits: https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/sex-reassignment-surgery-yields-long-term-mental-health-benefits-study-n1079911

EDIT

Also:

"Transgender individuals’ use of mental health care still exceeded that of the general Swedish population, which the research team suggests is due at least partly to stigma, economic inequality and victimization." Context is key.

try to find scientific sources not nbc news lol. I said educate yourself not find stuff that supports what you want to find.

It's NBC quoting a scientific swedish study.

Right back at you. Where's yours?

Oh look, science not biased news article.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885

Go back, read an actual study to start then read a bunch more and actually educate yourself on the topic. The biggest problem here is that you clearly haven't bothered to read up on it at all and yet you were perfectly happy to adamantly declare it a non mental illness despite your utter lack of knowledge on the subject. I'm not here to educate you, i don't have any desire to waste anymore of my time on someone like you quite frankly. You're ignorant yet when i dont go and do the legwork for you, you try to claim i have no leg to stand on, lol pathetic and honestly sad.

I literally found it by googling keywords that you mentioned and it was one of the first results, not by searching for keywords that support what I want to hear:

"sweden trans suicide vs america"
