And in the fucked up hellscape that is America, a fuckton of legal debt. First to the ER that saved your life and then to the mental hospital that forced you in because of your attempt. And guess what! Neither are in network so you are now am extra $100,000 in debt because you decided your financial situation was beyond salvage.

That is actually why they’rea big discrepancy between male and female studies rates. Attempts are about even but women typically choose less effective/reversible methods such as sleeping pills.

What i don’t understand is why Obama didn’t pardon them all since DADT was overtirned in 2010

Feels like someone saw how easy it is to pander to conservative chuds and figured the same could be done for “gay men” (read young white liberal women). I don’t see how anyone in the target demographic can view something like this as anything other than incredibly insulting.
