I wouldn't hold my breath on that knowing us. Most of the people in the community don't act, we just talk.

I hate how true this statement is.

That being said, I really want to get some action happening in Straya. Aussies are a bunch of tough nuts, I'm sure if we rallied the troops we could make a movement. It's just a matter of finding the troops, who, I'm pretty sure, are all hiding from Tony Abbott..

Yes, I also worry re: copycat suicides. Not to negate how hard it is with no support, but FB, Tumblr, and so on, advertise the suicides in a dramatic way. Some desperate kids can see this as attractive.
Hoping people will reach out to their friends, youngsters, and so on. Trans lives matter.

SO sad, another young life, GONE.

I have two daughters and a son. I don't ever want to see them be driven to this.

IMO, it's more than just Government action. Society needs a fundamental shift in how we listen to our children when they cry out to us.

This. Exactly this. We would have a lot more young people in the world.
