I agree the data shows more men commit suicide than women. All I’m pointing out is that if you factor in the risk profiles based on other characteristics (like race) then cis white men are orders of magnitude less likely to commit suicide than non-white men, trans men, gay men, etc. They are a low risk group, comparatively.
But I’m sure we can agree that all lives are equally valuable - so in that sense, we shouldn’t be downplaying the issues of the demographic from which the vast majority of deaths come in absolute numbers. This isn’t a competition over who has it the worst, nor does helping one group mean we can ignore the others. When people are unwell, it doesn’t just affect them individually - it’s a societal issue that impacts everyone.
