She's clearly going through some stuff yo. I don't think it's fair to call her transphobic because she's in a dark place
I have suicidal ideation, have my family dealing medical issues, dealing with my landlord being a spying lying piece of shit, my job sucks with a bad manager, and I've never said people need to self harm.
Personal history doesn't factor into your words. She could have said anything else, she chose not to. She didn't have to say "yeah harm yourself, and you're a fake socialist if you don't believe that".
I'm not gonna exhaustively pick through the modlog but (a) I don't think she said exactly that, I think that's how you interpreted other things she said. If I'm wrong link me
(b) people of all different ages, backgrounds, and cultures mix online. People behave differently at different stages of life and people who come from worse environments or have worse peer groups are going to have internalised different things
(c) I am absolutely positive you have said some hurtful, ignorant, foolish, or poorly expressed things when hurting. People tend to not be their best.
(d) Not everyone experiencing suicidal thoughts is experiencing the same degree of pain or equally (un?)clear headed.
(e) many many people who self harm believe, genuinely, that it is a good solution. I have a shitload of carvings in my body some more and others less artistic because at a time in my life the only way I could feel joy was heroin or hours of pain. At certain points it can seem rational, and in a short timeline it can be exactly as rational as e.g. a suffering addict using a drug. Because it is bad advice does not mean it is malicious.
