This reminds me of a nurse I was talking to who said that we shouldn't say someone "committed suicide" only that someone "died by suicide" becuase it's disrespectful to imply that someone did something wrong.
I'm sitting there thinking whose feelings are we trying to spare here? The person who is literally dead? If we imply that there is nothing wrong with suicide wouldn't that encourage more people to off themselves?
But I was talking to a woman so I didn't even bother.
Without political manipulations, these are usually "I talk about suicide all day, it makes me feel better to talk about it like it came out of nowhere and hit them".
They're not really thinking about it past them. Which is why it's so awful when politics pushes that you need to take these peoples opinions seriously.

Pick your battles. Smart.

You should drop those questions when you’re actively plowing.
