Transgender teen's suicide note: ‘My death needs to mean something’
Yahoo ^ | 12/31 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 12/31/2014 7:26:36 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

The suicide of a transgender teen is catching national attention in part because of a suicide note she left behind online.

Leelah Alcorn, 17, of Kings Mills, Ohio, was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on I-71 about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to local media.

Posthumous posts started to appear on her Tumblr page, titled “Lazer Princess,” including her suicide note and a post apologizing to her closest friends.

“My death needs to mean something,” she wrote. “My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say ‘that’s f---ed up’ and fix it. Fix society. Please.”

Alcorn's note explains that she has felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body ever since she was 4. Then she cried tears of joy when she learned what transgender meant at 14.

“After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was,” the suicide note reads. “I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong.”

“show how mothers who reinforce girl behaviors in boys create this disorder in boys”

Not just this disorder either. It is quite common to find serial killers who were subject to the same type of thing by domineering mothers, being dressed in women’s clothing or made to “play act” as a girl. It seems to be one of those things that can trigger psychopathy and disassociative disorders.

Here’s how to fix it, Laser Princess. Think of someone other than yourself for one minute of the day.

Nice parting gift for your family BTW, asshole.

Or, use the “raspberry jam” test. If they can open a tightly sealed jar with their bare hands, run!

“Take care of that...”

There’s only one guy who can take care of that once and for all, and He operates on His own schedule.

The root cause of many of these problems is the Public School System. Causing the little ones to stumble by teaching that perversity is normal and lawlessness is cool.

The proximate cause, perhaps, but certainly NOT the root cause.

The clear root cause is the decay of society generally, denying a moral dimension to the concept of "humanity," and the resulting hijacking of the legal system by the perverts, their families and friends.

And, of course, the tacit approval of 96% of normal society--- by acquiescence, which is light years away from tolerance..

If anyone should feel guilty, it is all of those who didn’t see to it that this poor boy got the kind of help he needed.

It is very difficult for someone to get the help he needed when the very people who are supposed to help, instead feed the problem. Teenagers have lots of problems, raging hormones, not completely in charge of their emotions. To allow someone that young to make such a life altering decision, without fully understanding the consequences, is malpractice, and a sin, really. It doesn't matter what your "heart" felt; your genes will always say who or what you really are.

Can we please stop abusing and mutilating children for some left-wing, progressive agenda. These types of surgeries should never be done on any person under 30. And, I'm not sure that they should be done at all; but, I suppose people have a right to choose to mutilate themselves; but, can we at least let children reach drinking age before we allow such things to be done to them?

Where was the LGBT Community when he was desperate for help?

An absurd question.
As if a heroin addict is in the best position to help an apprentice heroin addict...

Neither affliction is a normal existence intended by nature and Nature's consequences.

We won't know more until the lamestream media decides to tell us.

That's like looking forward to poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick!

Really?

Your death means that you were mentally ill and that the “mental health” profession would not help you become normal. Too bad it had to end this way.

You can thank the APA for that. Being a fag used to be a mental disorder until quacks decided it was ok.

Just check the hands. A male’s ring finger is longer than the index finger. A female’s index finger is longer than the ring finger.

I would also put this boy’s blood on the hands on those who lobbied the APA to change the status of homosexuality to being normal.

That’s nice to know if it is anatomically true. It would be a great discriminator!
