Ice Girl's public thoughts.

Trouble getting back to sleep 😪

Something on my mind. These numbers were from the recent report from the Trevor project regarding Intersex polling.

Forty-three percent of intersex LGBTQ+ young people who were subjected to conversion therapy reported attempting suicide in the past year.

Over half (55%) of intersex LGBTQ+ young people reported seriously considering suicide in the past year.

If people wonder why I tallk so much about mental health and wellness and try to raise awareness about Intersex conditions it is this situation I am concerned with.

I have personally known so many trans and Intersex people kill themselves or be harmed by bigots that it weighs heavy upon me.

One of my Best friends killed themselves in the very room I am typing this I invited them to live with me while they were going through stuff hoping that I could make the difference in there life and turn things around for them.

With the political climate as it is in the US and much of Europe getting even more anti trans and Intersex this is a quite scary time because I fear that we shall see even more death.

They typically rate of suicide is around 14 per 100,000. The fact that for trans and Intersex people it is so high happens to be one of the Greatest healthcare disparities in existence.

Yet it isn't being addressed and these communities are under even more political pressure and lack of access to healthcare or in some cases it is out right criminalized.

Please let the Intersex and trans people in your life know you want them to live. I am tried of seeing our loved ones die due to the bleak world that has crushed them.

Try to make a difference.
