I wrote the following, intending to get it published, for a gay publication in early september.
They have said they refuse to do so.
Fine when teh monthly comes out if this topic is not covered they will get the following email

Thanks for not doing anything about the topic. I can not honestly and accurately hold you Mr. ______ _______ (two words) personally and publicly responsible for any transgender sucidide attempts.

I think it might be somewhere in the forums, but, as usual Ican not be bothered looking for it

It is of course copyright to me.

For your information between 35 and 40 percent of male to female transgender people commit suicide..... and recently I have been considering it.

Clayton’s support

Having no knowledge of the transgender gabfest in Cairns apart from what I read in this magazine and in the ______ I would like to make a few comments.
Apparently the transgender system is moving to a system of informed consent. An extension of the entire society’s move away from group responsibility to place responsibility upon the individual.
Earlier this year I was asked to get an informed consent form completed and was warned doing so might prove difficult.
Initially I thought not a difficult task. I could get a doctor to fill out one section of the form, then I’d get a solicitor to do likewise. I was most distinctly wrong. Neither a doctor or a legal eagle would sign the form independent of the other’s presence. Both groups (and I did approach several in both professions) wanted the other present in the same room before either would autograph the form. Which is what was required because I had already been informed of what I needed to know.
Why is my getting a script filled no longer look upon a chance to get a second informed opinion? And why is my consuming the medicine no longer considered consent?
Anyhow this technicality most distinctly increased my stress levels for a while, which is not something the transgender person really needs. We have enough stress.
More than enough stress, if the suicide rate is any indication.
And as the conference expressed concern over the suicide rate. With your indulgence I would like to address this at some length.
In my opinion, the suicide rate is not something the medical profession can do much about. However the media and, more importantly, the individual, can.
Alas I see no signs of any effort being made.
None whatsoever.
Earlier this year I was, socially, introduced to a group of support workers by a peer, then promptly collectively ignored.
They had not left their work at work. Fair enough. I’ve been known to vent about work outside the work place.
What was not fair, one of the males decided, the next time he saw me, to try to chat me up.
When I reacted badly, as usual, to the approach he was told I was simply throwing a fit and should be left alone.
Frighteningly none of these, apparently trained, people had any notion what they were doing was/is not supportive. Indeed this gay boy, apparently, believes he might be able to seduce me.
Excluding the recent lesbian day, I have yet to spend an afternoon in my local gay pub where an average of a half dozen boys try an pick me up. And judging by it’s regularity a majority of the men believe they are entitled to grope as a way to induce seduction.
The ladies should not get smug. Earlier this year a young lesbian did a snap poll. She asked when did the people (including myself) around the table start menstruating?
Another young lady apparently believes I was trying to chat her up. Thought my doing so would offend her husband, moved away. She no longer communicates with me.
Looking through the October issue of your magazine there are two notices advertising a gay and lesbian counselling service. Neither advertisement mentions transgender.
I was thinking about volunteering there a while ago so sent them an email. It took them several weeks to answer two questions.
I have an email from my local gay pub stating, “ ........ for Lesbians, friends & family. It is not an exculsive female only event.” end quote.
I have had employment consultants insist I put both a male and female names on my resume. Without both they would not help.
I have had religious ministers deeply concerned by my presence in their church.
Ignoring the safety question, rate the support being provided by anyone trying to insist the transgender person be their birth gender.
If I believed I am my birth gender, I not would be transgender.
Not being part of any transgender group, I can not speak for any other transgender person, but I admit I make mistakes.
So, with errors everywhere, I reckon the tall poppies can hold all the gabfests they like. Until the majority of individuals in the community, become convinced to, platonically, accept every transgender person as the destination gender, the suicide rate will not budge.

I know exclusive is spelt wrong. That's what's in the email. And of course the names have been removed.
