If the trauma really is, as you say, caused by "trying to be something they are not", and I think you are right about that, then instead of committing suicide just cease trying to be something you are not.

The media driven, ideal of man and woman, is purely fictional. It is a lie, and "normal" sex and gender is an unattainable goal. As long as you actually believe however, the media sex and gender lie, then of course you will be miserable. So stop doing that. It really is that simple.

If you instead merely continue to bemoan your fate, cursing the darkness of sex and gender expectations, you will forever chase your tails and be unhappy, and no amount of commiseration and other forms of so called "support" will change that.
