Not in the sense that we’re all inherently suicidal. On quite the contrary, the “suicidal” Lemmys in that video were pushed off the edge by the film crew to get a good shot… does that ring a fucking bell? For years, people were laughing at this video of Lemmys supposedly killing themselves, asking themselves and the world “AHAHAHHAA WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT TO THEMSELVES!!! LMAOOOOO”. In this sense I relate the experience of those Lemmings immensely. This is precisely what it’s like to be a suicidal tranny, especially one whose committed, whether you survived the attempt or not. This is what it’s like watching the media reaction and public reaction when a trans person “kills themselves”. We’re denied adequate Healthcare and a timely transition, denied belonging in the human community, routinely told to kill ourselves and have violence wielded against us (all of which are shoves off the cliff), and people legit fucking ROFL when we ultimately do tumble to our deaths (when we “kms”, despite broader context of the situation revealing there’s essentially a crew of cisoids off-screen orchestrating our mass demise).
All-in-all, the Lemming is actually a pretty good mascot for our kind. People till this day still live with the idea in their head that Lemmings just routinely commit mass-suicide cuz they’re just inconceivably quirky like that and soooo beyond our understanding 😒. Don’t mind the elaborate staging and orchestrating, the blatant intentionality behind it all…
I like this analogy.
I also learned about lemmings killing themselves from ducktales iirc, so I was literally brainwashed into this ideology since childhood. /jk
Ducktales including this myth actually makes a lot of sense, as it ultimately was a Disney nature documentary (“White Wilderness”) that this Lemming snuff film and its associated myth comes from.
fuck my stupid lemming life

So real. I’m not gonna become a statistic, and I’m not gonna give them their “hilariously” morbid climactic end-scene they’re salivating at the mouth to capture on camera. I’m gonna ruin their Lemming documentary ✊️😤

My eyes literally water up looking at it. Sometimes I daydream about what I’d do to the producers if I were there… I mean, realistically I’d just cry and shovel as many lemmings into my arms as possible and bring them to safety and otherwise “ruin their perfect shot”, because I’m otherwise a frail and weak person who’s sensitive to violence… but pulling a Doom Guy in that situation feels warranted.
