Ahead of today's Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference, transgender support groups say the 'wear and tear' of constant commentary and hate is causing serious mental health problems in the community.

"We have been through a hellish couple of years, especially with the federal election, but also with some of the attempts to make policy changes through the New South Wales parliament." Teddy Cook, ACON's director for community health, said a 2019 transgender mental health survey by La Trobe University found 65 per cent of respondents had suicidal ideations.

"We've been working really closely with the e-Safety commissioner ... we've had situations of trans people being heavily targeted online, being doxxed; it absolutely happens out in the world as well.In the 2016 Census, more than 10,000 Australians marked or commented "other" when answering questions on sex and gender.

When they complain about 'hate crimes' it's usually that a woman stood up to their misogyny & they see that as a violation of their male entitlement. TransWomenAreConMen

You're confused about who is on the sending and receiving end of hate. This is a male supremacist movement that is dehumanizing women, terrorizing feminists, and demanding the destruction of women's rights. Their DARVO tactics are the same as the 'Men's Rights Activists'.

They’ll be fine, people born with a uterus are still suffering abuse from all fronts, generational change for the LGBTQI+ hasn't changed this sad reality.

They should stay away from our children then. The whole movement has evolved into a toxic agenda.

Fuck off with your filth.

is the main culprit

Where

Live your life, keep your personal shit to yourself, don’t look for public approval, most won’t then know or care then treat you like everyone else which is what everyone wants.

Funny how this is completely missing any actual evidence. Typical of the ABC

Most of the hate and threatening behaviour I see online comes from trans activists.

No it’s not.

Meanwhile the e-Safety commissioner is ok with J K Rowling getting death threats from these poor indefensible young trans people who demand everybody play along with whatever they say.

Groomers

Straight from Victoria Education - They stopped 'gay conversion therapy' (which is fair enough, no child should go through shock therapy because it's TWISTED). Then replaced it with this behind parents backs, which is equally TWISTED.

'Young trans people'? You sound like you support grooming ABC?

The push to erode women’s rights and push gender politics on children can (and has) attract a passionate response

Who gives a fu*K, these people need to be told that they are still men.

The comments here are just overflowing with exactly the people this article is about.

Trans women aren’t real women

It is more loving to tell the truth and guide people, especially youth, away from this horrid, nasty ideology. The advocates are the ones who want to dox, cancel, harras and intimidate others, particularly the ones who want to protect youth. Who are the hateful ones again?

GFY ABC groomers

And whose fault is that. Specific groups and their sexuality shoved in our faces by politicians and media on an ongoing basis. I do not in anyway condone violence or hate but people have had enough

By Trans Activists you mean the entire ABC staff population? Lots of assertions zero evidence.

Well that is what happens when the media and minority groups want to shove all of this LGBT down our throats. The more to they do, the more people will push back . All is this inclusivity and gemder madness is not going to help them . Will make things worse !

The LGB community have had enough.

Geez that's alotta airtime for 0.1% of the population

That training must not have kicked in yet. Where’s the balance

Men cannot ever turn themselves into women and vice versa. Anyone telling these poor deluded children otherwise is doing them a severe disservice and blatantly LYING to them. Not just misinformation, but ABJECT FALSEHOODS.

'Men can have babies' is the hellish misinformation you're ignoring. See also 'cutting your teenage tits off makes you a boy.'

Well, if you consider biology or objective truth 'misinformation'...you're going to struggle pretty much wherever you go!

The only hate crime is the hatred to believe LBGTQAI+ are equal to everyone else and nobody cares what anyone identifies as or who they are attracted to other than 'B' grade tabloids like ABC and SBS

What rubbish. If you live in the world then get used to occasional criticism. No one is immune. Especially not those who ostentatiously prance and bully the rest of the community, demanding their endorsement, rather than earning it as normal people do.

fakenews

Schools need social workers.

Stop pushing the transgender at people. Let people live their lives with whatever they want to be

How is it possible for the ABC yo write a piece like this without actually citing one example of online hate? Present us the facts, not the feelings.

An objection to gender affirming care for minors is not transphobic. Having a different opinion is not hate speech. This ideology is harming our children. Boys cannot be girl and girls cannot be boys. It's simple biology. Stop mutilating our children.

As Don Cheadle says

Yeah it's called pedophiles grooming children on Discord you snakes.

Yes, if only more men dressed as caricatures of women could interact with little kiddies. That will fix the problem, surely.

Imagine being off social media, and just being yourself doing your own thing, completely unaware of what the fuck anyone else thinks

I'm sure advocates wouldn't be biased at all.

Taxpayer funded gaslighting

Young people in general over generations have suffered bullying, hatred.

Well, ABC.... you pushed too far. Look at the replies. 3/4 of the people replying wouldn't have 3 years ago, but you and the TRAs had to ram it down everyones throats and start messing with kids. You over played your hand

If you think it's hard being trans, try being straight.

All 12 of then?

This is a leader of their community.. want to talk about hellish..

So to combat misinformation then why doesn't anyone seem to want to define what makes someone a man or woman? You know so at least everyone has a starting point to be on the same page

Misinformation? Like them being told that men cannot be women and have no place in female sports? That self id is a threat to women and girls safety? Perhaps they don't like confronting truth?

Just men who like dressing up in frocks and telling us it’s normal and then acting in a very provocative way

Once again the ABC & lefties pushing the victim stories. They should get Meghan Markle to report for them! 'Everyone else is to blame for having an opinion that's not ours' winge, winge, bla, bla..

The misinformation is that there is such a thing as trans kids. It’s child abuse. Stop the medicalisation, sexualisation and mutilation of kids. Do whatever you like to your body as an adult. Present however you feel. againstgrmrs

What is being pushed by TRA,s is the problem, women just want their own private spaces and parents are concerned about the ideology that is being pushed on their children

The misinformation places like “the gender centre” offer young people is criminal.

Ummm. What?

Funny that cause they are the ones harassing hetro people that buy a video game or dare to speak out about them being in womans bathrooms or womans sport. they literally send an army of karens after you telling you to neck yourself... they seem very violent and very triggered

Young people are being taught that the truth = hate. They can’t stand the truth. Realityphobia is real.

Facts. Plain and simple. No sacre, no lies, no misinformation, just pure straight up facts, the highly acclaimed trans adult entertaining primary school age child, is paraded in front of adults and PRAISED for doing so , while talking about doing kedamine.

Ohhh. And just so no-one can claim hate speech or some shit, the same primary school age adult entertainer, talks about doing kedamine openly, ...... true, fact, plain and simple, talks about doing kedamine, like a normal kids does chuppa chups, entertains adults, and is trans.

If you think a trans drag show dancing child in adult entertainment is acceptable you need your head read.,, and that IS HAPPENING 8N THE USA...CHILDERN IN DRAG DOING DANCE SHOWS FOR ADULTS.... but you lose your shit over afgan dancing boys, but not white kids.

Not misinformation, fact, Protect intersex, intersex need the laws choice and medicine. Trans....are ADULTS.....ADULTS.... DO YOU UNDERSTAND AAADDDDDUUULLLTTTTSSSSS.

The reason transpeople have such a high suicide rate is unlikely to be driven by negativity online. It's a destructive, toxic and aggressive movement that is constantly on the attack. We saw that at the Mardi Gras and we just witnessed on the Project last night.

What online hatred? I haven't seen any.

Probably because their always the one’s getting into debates about how straight people are transphobic if they don’t sleep with them

ABC article falls short of calling out what this misinformation actually is…. Strange… I wonder if it’s “the science” this time too..

I imagine being constantly reminded that you're lying to yourself and others would be 'hellish'

The ABC, like others, doing the groundwork to establish any discussion of this as 'hateful', so graphs like these can continue to grow unquestioned.

It’s almost like they don’t have a month of pride and get to walk the streets ramming their sexuality down our throats, and call hatred if you call a trans person the wrong ridiculous pronoun.

What ever happened to 'stick and stones'?

The ''Hellish' online hatred and misinformation is bombarding' the rest of the population, the vast majority of whom are not queer. People are sick of being forced to pretend to care about others sexual preferences.

If people wave their religion in my face I tell them to go away too.

Don't sell yourself so short! The ABC's misinformation campaign isn't just online.

The truth is not hatred. The whole trans ideology is built on lies and fabrication.

The ABC is the primary spreader of misinformation about transgenderism in this country.

Also I appreciate that you extensively quote ACON - an lgbtq advocacy group to whom you pay $6,000 per year to be an lgbtq employer. How on earth are you being impartial here

I met trans people and realised what a load of rubbish the whole thing was. Autogynephillic men, bored and insecure young women… The online “misinformation” is true.

Gay BC at it again

Misinformation? 🤣

I'm guessing most of the online hatred is people saying 'kid, don't do it. You will regret it down the track'

The biggest bit of misinformation is telling kids they can change gender

Most Marginalised©️

RobodebtRC

Misinformation? You mean like telling children they can transition between sexes willy nilly with no long term effects? Or that there is an infinite amount of genders? Etc. Tards gonna tard. All we can do is build camps said tards can't escape from.
