Emotional blackmail

We are being emotionally blackmailed by gays and trannies: "Stop being mean or I'll kill myself!" It seems very unlikely that responding to this with appeasement will end up well. Even if stopping meanness did fix things for them (which seems unlikely to me, as the root of their anguish is not mean people, but the mismatch between their desires and identity and the obvious facts of biology), they have every incentive not to give up their grievance, but to redouble it.

(For what it's worth, I find the form blackmail used by blacks--"Respect us or we'll burn your city down"--much more respectable.)
