Suicide is the worst of the possible self-harm which many trans-people understand very well.

Religious abuse is most commonly perpetrated inadvertently by sincere and dutiful followers of a religion (Nicloy 1). The perpetrator is so fixated upon their own connection with God that they completely overlook the possible harm they are inflicting upon the child and believe that their actions are always righteous due to their supposed holiness (2).
