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’m sorry if it sounds hash, but nearly everything about this story points to mental illness. Too bad the kid didn’t respond to the therapy. The problem was, his “support” people convinced him that social norms and everyone else was wrong except for him. They led him down this path and are partly responsible for his demise. They convinced him that his sexual fetish was his identity. All of the militant homos pressures will NEVER get the other 98% of society to consider them “normal”. It only ensures that we won’t ever talk about it openly. Normal folks will still always look at this debauchery and laugh... at least on the inside.
Bingo! It’s not uncommon to “discover” these kids were molested ...........
Not to be callous but ... one less perverted deeply disturbed mind. May it find peace (and some sense) in the next world
“Fix society”.
Really? We need to “fix society” to accommodate mental illnesses and treat that state as “normal”?
“sissy boy syndrome” is an old psychology book which uses behavior reinforcement to show how mothers who reinforce girl behaviors in boys create this disorder in boys.
It probably works the same for little girls.
This is why homosexuals recruit so young in schools. They are distorting(abusing) normal development in growing children.
That idiot book caused a lot of misery in my fam damily of origin..............Transactional Analysis, what a pile of hot steaming mess, my parents were kookoo for it
Tragic.....
He believed in the lies of the Father of all Lies.
My first thought....made someone else a participant in their suicide.
Mayhap it was one of mom’s “boyfriends” that molested him.....ever thought of that?
How come nobody wants to be a tree frog?
I have some clients.. husband and wife.. very, very liberal. Over the years, watched them warp their kids...Boy needs to knit and play with dolls, girl needs to do boy things...Always telling them, ‘if you turn out to be gay, that is fine with us’. Sure enough, boy and girl are both switched. Both unhappy and angry, headed for trouble, socially, legally. The parents, of course, blame society in general for non-acceptance, and the conservatives in particular for (non-existent) persecution. I am ever amazed by the liberals’ need to hate those who embrace normalcy....
Okay. ...Next, keep the line moving.
The other side of that “God made me this way” coin is that “God made heterosexuals’ aversion to homosexuality ‘real’” God didn’t make a ‘mistake’ there, either I guess. Their argument presupposes they actually believe in God in the first place which I don’t believe ‘they’ believe in the first place.
If you are attracted to the same sex, you have a mental problem. If you dont know or accept the sex you are you have a SEVERE mental problem and need treatment.

Where was the LGBT Community when he was desperate for help? The only ones who could have helped him would have been his parents or someone he infomed of his inner struggles; like a school counselor. A friend, or casual acquaintance, has no authority to get someone else’s child “the kind of help” he needs. All they can do is, possibly, steer him to people or agencies who could help him. But, this is not something that many people know how to deal with. I ask again: Where was the LGBT Community when he was desperate for help?
Yes, they are crazy, and they still haven’t managed to intimidate the APA into removed their disorder from the diagnostic manuals, like the homosexuals did.
Perhaps your question should be “How come nobody wants to be a Gerbil?”
What it means is that homemade “sexual identities” are a really bad idea.
I see parents like that, and I want to quote that line from the movie, "Slapshot" when Reg Dunlop sees the kids of the owner;
Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me.
Anita McCambridge: I beg your pardon?
Reggie Dunlop: You better get re-married again, or he's gonna have someone's .... in his mouth before you can say Jack Robinson.
