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.”

I hope the truck driver and anyone else was not injured in this guy’s selfish act.

When I was in the Air Force I worked with a guy who admitted to being fooled in Italy. He and another guy picked up two hot chicks at a bar. They were making out when he reached into ‘her’ pants and found a surprise.

He was so very sorry he told us that story.

“You’re” should be your. Stupid auto correct.

It means parents need to be more diligent in protecting their kids from pedophiles which may include friends and family, and even kids their own kid’s age, so that their kids don’t become gay.

I hadn't seen your post before mine, but you are 100%.

Lucky the young man didn't kill someone else.

It's the Untold Story here. The 'Transgendered' have a horrible suicide rate much to do with their own thoughts and Not to do with Society as a whole.

Many take that step and find it's not as wonderful as they expected. 'Sex' is horrible and once found out by a male lover - Yikes.

Sexual sins affect the whole body, just as the Scripture says. Whether it's Transgendering, Adultery, Promiscuity or Homosexuality it pervades and changes the Soul. Is scars the conscious and much much more.

The Good News, however, is that the Lord Jesus Christ has died for the sins of folks like you and me. And that there is no sin which the Cross does not cover. By throwing it down upon the sin bearer and believing upon Him alone, forgiveness is found. And making Him Lord gives back life and life worth living again.

The World, the Devil and the Flesh offer these temptations which are better not experienced. Moses said "Choose Life" and that life is found for those that are broken in the forgiving eyes of Christ.

Remember a book called “I’m OK; You’re OK”? It was one of those self-help books from the 70s, and its premise was that there are four ways of looking at the world, a truth table built from the two states and the two populations described in the title:

1) I’m OK; You’re OK
2) I’m OK; You’re not
3) I’m not OK; You are
4) I’m not OK; You’re not OK.

Listen to this whiny biotch and what you hear when “it” says “Fix society” is I’m OK; You’re not. In other words, the whole world is messed up but him. Where in truth, the exact opposite is the case. We’re OK; you’re not.

In fact, you’re dead. We’re not.

Do I need reading comprehension classes or do you have your genders reversed in this article?
Just saying!

"Leelah Alcorn, 17, of Kings Mills, Ohio, was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on I-71"

So she committed suicide by truck. How considerate of her. She was selfish to the end, not giving a second thought to what might happen to the driver of the truck.

If I were the ‘counselor’ I’d give them a tampon and say “come back to me when you can use this like it was intended.”

Where was R. Lee Ermey when he needed him?

“...because of a suicide note she left behind online”

That means it was a male pretending to be female.

This was all over Facebook. It’s really being pushed.

It is sad for this person and his family.

But, we have become a nation of juvenilia.

It means that the adults in your life failed you by not getting you the help you needed in your confusion.

Other “meanings” - he was a sacrifice on the altar of leftist deviance.

He is a boy. His mother was not wrong. Maybe she could have handled it better. Now my primary question is who molested this boy and screwed him up forever because I am guessing there was molestation in his past. Where’s daddy poo? Off the property?

If you kill yourself and state ‘it needs to mean something’, it probably doesn’t mean anything. Just sayin’


Oh, it means something for sure. It means society won’t be bothered with your crazyness any longer and won’t have to pay for your abominable life style.

Apologies in advance if this post comes across as cruel;

His death does mean something; it means he was selfish for putting his loved ones through this misery, for putting that poor truck driver through the nightmare of reliving this tragedy for the rest of his life. It means that the liberals in this Country have stuck their noses where they don't belong and convinced this kid that his feelings and desires trump the religious guidance and private deliberations his parents tried to have with him.

The next time you hear some do-gooder, self righteous liberal proclaim 'the children belong to all of us' understand that it is not their well-being that is being advocated for; it is the wedge they seek to install between children and their parents because it is exactly this type of damaged child they seek to bring into their demented fold.
