‘My death needs to mean something’

It would if the moral deconstructionists would realize the damage they are doing to individuals and society, turn off their PC bullhorns, and allow the message to get out that people like this need serious mental help. This poor kid's confusion and self-loathing could have been addressed long ago, but no. In the name of cultural perversion we "celebrated" his disorder and let it go untreated until this happened. So sad.

Her death DOES mean something.

Mental health issues are important, and gender confusion can lead to drastic consequences if not dealt with.

Stop catering to mental health aberrations. Thinking one is a cantaloupe does not make one a cantaloupe. These people need to grasp reality if they are to avoid disaster.

All the blurred lines aren’t helping.

You can’t remove all the markers and lines from the street and expect traffic to flow well.

We need boundaries and lines.

Thank goodness that it wasn’t a free-for-all when I was growing up! I may have become confused and thought I was supposed to be a boy.

I wasn’t fond of girlie things and mostly I haven’t changed.

At the heart of it is this person’s own mental illness.

I always wonder - exactly what they want “society” to do for them?

I really don’t know what drives any part of the homosexual community to be so in-your-face.

This whole “pride” thing is a fool’s construct meant to bully acceptance for a position that is not logical, nor perpetuating in terms of being self-sustaining.

It is an aberration that crops up, but it is by no means ‘normal’. They, media and politicians would have us believe they are a very significant part of the overall population. They clearly are so very not.

This is sad.

It’s sad for the mother who loved her son.

It’s sad for the truck driver who will relive the horror over and over again.

And, yes, it’s sad for this teenage boy, but he made a choice to destroy two people - his mother and a stranger - along with himself. His mother simply told him the truth and loved him.

I share your thought. This person by her “belief” might infect others.

Sacrifices to an evil baal.

It’s possible that even his own parents’ approach had more heart than he gives it credit for.

Hissing at God like this is a Bad Sign. It’s fine to ask God questions about situations that perplex, but He deserves to be heard when He answers.

... and most of all, that means anyone who lied to this kid about how he could "change his gender" and it would be so much better.

Perversion, deviancy, errors of nature, like misery, truly loves company!

One lie after another ... they keep referring to this poor, deranged boy as “she”.

that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong

His mother told him the truth.

“I really don’t know what drives any part of the homosexual community to be so in-your-face.”

I think they’ve been manipulated into it by the commies. It is certainly not in their own best interests, because when the push too far, there will be a backlash and they will end up worse off than before.

The bible account explains a lot, though not always on the level of detail that the mere curious might want. Just enough to back up the validity of the salvation-by-faith paradigm.

Sin has a dimension that transcends the mortal. Very happily, so does righteousness, and God chose to include actual salvation in His picture of righteousness — He was not content to just sit back and damn the world even though it would deserve that.

I agree. I believe transgender is a mental issue, not a biological issue. They need psychological help, not surgery.

Believing you are a different gender is the same as believing you are Napoleon.

It means that this kid bought into the bull crap about “trasngenderism” and “homosexuality” and thinking the world should be fair and just for everyone.

He is probably standing in front of his maker getting is ass chewed out right now.

Life is not fair. Life is not just. The struggle is what makes us better people.

Its too bad this kid did not have the proper guidance and encouragement in his life.

Weird article.

Alcorn was never a “she” but the writer keeps referring to him that way.

One consolation for the family is that if Leelah was a Democrat then he’ll be immortalized on the voter registration lists for decades to come.

Yes, is does mean something: it is more evidence that “being transgender” is, absent a discordance between manifested primary sexual characteristics and the person’s genetics, a morbid delusion that should be treated as a mental illness, rather than coddled by society replacing sex with “gender”, applying the pronoun determined by the delusion rather than by the sex of the person, and offering surgery and hormone injections to turn the person into a simulacrum of the sex their delusion has them believing that “are”.

Alas, that is not the meaning the biens pensants who are setting policy on such matters will take from it.

It might turn out there are actual Communist groups kicking at the corner of this hornet’s nest. It’s been expressed in various manifestos.

But we have a more fundamental problem: Demons (rebelling angels) and men who as a group threw their lot in with these demons.

Take care of that, and dealing with the evil of even Communism then becomes a mere mop up operation.
