Community Rules:
- No Hate Speech
No Hate Speech allowed whatsoever. This is a O tolerance policy. This goes for any form of hate and/or bigotry regarding race, religion, or LGBTQ+ identities.
While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.
- Stay on topic!
Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

If people being more equal than before rids you of your purpose there's quite a problem there, there's no reason for that.
Don't get me wrong, the suicides are a problem, obviously, but suicide attempts are actually multiple times more frequent among women (around 3x last I checked), so I don't think this is a reasonable hypothesis (losing purpose because women are empowered more) as to why the suicide rates are higher.
I don't believe men and women have gotten more equal actually. (Not in the last few decades I mean)
Do you think it's possible that suicide attempts among men are not reported as often? I've attempted suicide twice before and never told anyone. Long time ago and I'm happy now.
You seem to subtly direct everything at women. Men's mental health is a problem, but we don't need to play oppression olympics here. Let's just keep it to the issue at hand rather than making constant comparisons.
Well I was replying to a comment claiming that women don't have it easier than men. Which is almost certainly false.
