Just saw this: first USA Transgender Suicide hotline ...

Thanks Alan
The line is not yet open 24 hours a day, but it is available in the following 18 hour periods:
Pacific time: 8 am to 2 am
Mountain time: 9 am to 3 am
Central time: 10 am to 4 am
Eastern time: 11 am to 5 am
Although attitudes towards trans individuals are starting to improve in parts of the US, the trans community is still one of the most stigmatized in the US and around the world. The hotline numbers in the US and Canada are:
US: (877) 565-8860 CANADA: (877) 330-6366

The Thing Is:
The current Suicide HotLines I've been exposed to always refer Veterans to the VA Hotline, and they tell the local VA hospital and they try to get you on drugs. The Drugs that I was exposed to just made me more depressed, and had awful physical side effects. Such help I can do without. I hope this new line is more trustworthy.
Sadly
In the south and west, excluding LA and San Fran, it's actually getting worse again. Trump's Bigot Boys were embolden by Pres. Bigot. They are getting more open and agressive in their hatred, and they are being aided and abetted by more of the law enforcement and the judicial systems.
