If people can say that the reason the suicide rate among transexuals is so high because of the way society treats them. Then its perfectly acceptable to apply the same logic to suicide among men

This is not to shit on transexuals by any stretch. But I hate when certain people keep saying the transsexuals have a high suicide rate Because of the way cis people treat them. Maybe there is a lot of truth to it. You can't deny transphobia exists. But simaltaneously in the western world suicide among men in twice as common among women. Is that to say that society treats men worse than women if we are applying the same logic that we do to transexuals. By this logic men are much more oppressed than women.

Edit: I just wanted to clarify my intentions behind this post. It has a bit of a double meaning so to say. The main aim of this post isn't to say that men or women (and other groups) are the most oppressed. It was more to highlight how we use simplify a statistic to the point where we don't consider multiple reasons for it (in this case high suicide among transsexuals). I wanted to say that if we use such an approach to male suicide rate one by such "incomplete" logic. Conclude that men just as transgenders are one of the most oppressed groups. FIY : I believe all groups are denigrated for different things and I by no means am diminishing the pain different groups of people feel
