While the medical and biopsychosocial models of suicide have been critiqued, the social model adopted in trans studies/movements has not been examined from anti-oppressive perspectives. Thus, the limits of this model are under-theorized. The question at the heart of this article is: What are the limits of the social model that underlies most trans suicidality analyses? Based on a critical discourse analysis of publications in trans studies/movements adopting the social model of suicide, this paper demonstrates that these discourses reproduce forms of stigmatization, marginalization and pathologization of (trans) suicidal people. I argue that the social model produces an epistemic violence founded in mental ableism (or sanism) and suicidism (oppression of suicidal people) by delegitimizing the voices of suicidal people.
