But social stigma isn't the only reason delusional people become suicidal.
That is why it should not be called a delusion.
Offer the medical options and talk therapy, odds are you'll have functioning members of society, suicide numbers average.
If we do the same for people that claim the government is sending satelite messages to their fillings, we'd end up with the same number of crazies, only with less teeth. Even with medication, suicide rates stay high.
You can call them degenerates or whatever names you choose and of course, things may well be different in the USA (age requirements) but I am confident very little to none of the individuals do this to offend "normal" people or to be attention whores or to win some sport they couldn't hack it in as a male competitor or to perv on some under-aged girl in a public restroom or to impose their pronouns patch on me as a non-native English speaker or to have kids look up their dress in a library ;-)
FWIW met one guy back in the olden day pre-2000s, classic tragic story, failed marriage what with the secret identity but like the good book and white Jesus say: a good person is a good person, regardless of what clothes they wear or how their genitals look. Can't wear the cape and not share it with the beggar.
I for one am glad people have options and can hopefully find all the help, support and acceptance they need.
