FULL TITLE: Christian parents accused of 'cruelty' in their 17-year-old transgender daughter's suicide note REFUSE to accept her female identity - but insist they loved 'him'

The mother of a transgender teen who killed herself over the holiday season is speaking out, and making it clear she did not and does not approve of what she believes was her daughter's choice to be transgender.

Carla Alcorn of Kings Mills, Ohio said in an interview that she and her husband did not 'support' their daughter Leelah Alcorn, while also refusing to acknowledge her daughter's sex, using male pronouns and referring to her as 'him,' 'he' and 'son' throughout the interview.

However they insist they loved their child unconditionally and are devastated by the tragic suicide.

This just days after Leelah walked in front of a tractor trailer and ended her life, writing in her heartbreaking suicide note that because she was transgender, 'The life I would've lived isn't worth living in.'

Even more upsetting is the fact that she also shares how hopeful she once was in her letter, writing; 'When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness.'

The kid’s own mental illness was responsible.

Nobody else.

"...in their 17-year-old transgender daughter's suicide note REFUSE to accept her female identity..."

They didn't have a daughter. They had an X-Y chromosome son that apparently had mental problems. There is no such thing as "trans gender". Granted with extremely rare genetic exceptions. You are either a man or you are a woman. This code is written in every cell of your body. Mutilating yourself does not change this fact. It only makes you're sickness apparent to all who care to notice.

“X” + “X” = Girl
“X” + “Y” = Boy

It’s not rocket science


“X” + “X” + “Y” = ????

Satan’s goal is to have everything based on lies. Reality will be replaced by lies.

Putting scare quotes around his parents’ male pronouns just goes to show what a sanctimonious twit this reporter is. Who is in a better position to know the sex of their child, his parents, or some total stranger writing for a British tabloid?

Kind of like the film, “How to Walk Like a Man”, where Christopher Lloyd’s little brother was raised and indoctrinated to believe himself a dog, and they spend the movie teaching him to act like a human. Funny movie, but at least it’s all fake and fictional.

The only “cruelty” was done by the deceased for cruelly ruining the life of that innocent truck driver.

Needs to be repeated in the comments every time this story is posted.

This boy was a coward who like all perverts only thinking about themselves.

I actually got into a heated argument with an old H.S. classmate on facebook about this. She was saying they should have written about what a "pioneering young woman" the dead kid was on his tombstone. I asked if her son has "self-identified" as black and committed suicide, would she have the tombstone engraved with the "African" name he made up for himself and listed him as a "pioneering African-american" so she could "respect his identity".

This chick went nuts and told me I'm racist, sexist, and homophobic. Amusingly, she also "self-identies" on her own facebook page as "Republican" and "Catholic.". Sure, and I'm a Hindu Communist. She better start calling me Rajeesh from India or she's a bigot.

These "transgender advocates" are completely insane. It's funny how the left calls us "science deniers" and then ignores biology because real life hurts their FEELINGS.

Ah, so you won the argument. They're always so predictable when they lose.

LMAO

Have you seen the South Park episodes

"Mr. Garrison's Fancy New V****a" and "The Cissy"?

On point.

In the former episode, inspired by Mr. Garrison's sex change young Kyle self-identified as a tall Black Basketball player, and his father as a Dolphin. Both got surgery. The doctor failed to explain that the surgery only make them LOOK tall/black and dolphin.

LMAO!! I love the transdolphin photo. I'll definitely have to check out that episode. The South Park guys are basically libertarians but stuff that like is where the phrase South Park Republican comes from. Another great episode is the one making fun of illegal immigration with the time-traveling people from future ruining the community, and the government demanding everyone learn future-speak to accommodate them. Also there's a really biting satire episode mocking the stem cell debate, where they depict Christopher Reeve eating human fetuses.

I bet liberals blew a few blood vessels in rage watching the "transphobic" South Park episode.

When they’re good, they’re brilliant. SP remains probably the greatest political/social satire in the history of television.

Another response to their spew: “Well, you say that like it’s a BAD thing.”

The parents of this poor, deluded kid did fail. They failed to realize how fragile and unstable his psychological state was and there may well have been a hormonal imbalance at work. He clearly wasn’t in his right mind. But calling it abuse is absurd at best. Their failure was the result of an honest mistake. They were at a loss as to what to do. I think that they’ve suffered enough.
