Ohio transgender teen’s suicide note plea for change, education
http://www.reviewjournal.com ^ | 01/01/2015 | By ASHLEY FANTZ

When Ohio teenager Josh Alcorn told his parents he wanted to live as a girl, that he felt trapped in his own body, his parents said they wouldn’t stand for that.

“We don’t support that, religiously,” his mother told CNN Wednesday, her voice breaking. “But we told him that we loved him unconditionally. We loved him no matter what. I loved my son. People need to know that I loved him. He was a good kid, a good boy.”

Crossing out the name “Josh,” the 17-year-old signed the name he wanted to be known as — “Leelah” — in a suicide note posted to Tumblr.

The note was programmed to publish after Alcorn’s death Sunday. The teenager was struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 71 around 2:15 a.m., about four miles from home in the tiny town of Kings Mills, northeast of Cincinnati.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the death as a suicide

Sounds like he had some mental “issues”.
________________________________________

The individuals afflicted with this mental condition (mental, because otherwise they are physically normal), never achieve true normalcy. After they have surgery, they remain disturbed and confused. Stark reality then sets in and they realize that the “change” hasn't cured their confusion. Now, they are out of options and become even more depressed and suicidal. Left to their own devices, LGBT individuals have become mainstream mental cases like so many others who now roam our streets and public corridors. Mental disorder cases in our society have become forced new age ‘normalcy.’

There is a mental disorder that makes you want to cut off your arms or legs; as the subject doesn’t feel that they should be a part of him.

Transgenderism is no less extreme.

my sister is trans-gender at about 20 said that she felt that there was nothing wrong with a women being masculine. five years later she informed everyone that she felt that she was a he and wanted to be referred to as a he. As far as I am concerned it is a form of mental illness and the psychiatric community is damaging kids by indulging the delusion . When someone say that a person is immoral because of this mental illness they really are not showing charity to the person suffering from this delusion. as far as sexuality is concerned from what I have experienced with my sister and others trans-gender people I have met they can be gay strait or even a asexual in nature.my own sister was very asexual for years really scared of anything to do with a sexual nature in relating to other people. today I would say she is gay because she has a girl friend though she thinks she is in a heterosexual relationship,

Can we pinpoint why Hitler, Stalin and Mao killed millions of people?

We can diagnose the sociopathy of these historical figures using diagnostic instruments.

I may not be able to tell you why dementia occurs but I can use scans and verbal and non verbal testing to tell you that it is there and to what degree.

Obviously, the parents will be blamed for this, not the serious mental illness of the child.

I actually know a “transgender” person and watched the whole thing transpire. She was always tomboyish but a nice, quiet person. I enjoyed riding jet skis on the lake with her. In her 20’s she announced that she was lesbian. I can’t say I was surprised, nobody was really but it weighed on her. We remained friends, I even accepted her girlfriends and worked hard to make sure nothing changed as far as our friendship.

After about a decade, she decided that she was really male and that she wanted to marry her girlfriend. My thought was, what a strange, jumbled up way of thinking, that a lesbian would want to be with a male. She went through with it, the testosterone treatments, breasts amputated. The “lower” thing apparently isn’t all that successful so that wasn’t done. Surprisingly, “she” stayed with her girlfriend and they did get “married,” in the backyard of “her” girlfriend’s parent’s house, some wacky Episcopalian priest officiating. I attended.

It was a boozy affair, large crowd, very alternative people as you can imagine. I left the party early in the evening, after walking in on the new “wife” of my longtime friend in a state of undress in a bathroom with another lesbian. They don’t take “marriage” seriously. I felt so bad, angry really, for my friend. I’ve come to realize now that “she” knew, that it’s really the expectation. They’re still together.

I haven’t been able to be a close friend for over a decade now. I run into them on odd occasion and am civil. I don’t drink like I once did so there’s just not that much interaction anymore. However, one somewhat drunken occasion a few years back, my old estranged friend admitted to me that “he” was mistaken for a gay male all the time and sort of liked it. I will never understand, though I tried.

Sad story; no “acceptance” or “education” is going to deceive the patient that there is anything “normal” about a deviant lifestyle or mental condition. Some drink/use drugs to avoid killing themselves more quickly.

This poor kid dressed like a female and threw himself in front of a trailer rig, yet its society that needs fixing. A better idea is people need to stop taking themselves so damn seriously. There are things more important than yourself.
Well said. Seems to be a lot of that around in this age of the endless selfies...

It’s time to pull your kids out of government run schools, people. That’s where they’re learning this stuff.

And Television, Facebook, Movies, etc.

There are children who never heard of LGBT who say they know are not the gender of their body.

How does a child know about gender? Presumably they have no knowledge of the other gender's parts. I know I didn't when I was a child. It was a matter of some interest to me at the time, I assure you.

I’m sorry, Ashley, but “she” was a he, down to every cell in his body. Even amputating his male parts would not change that fact. I’m very sorry that CNN has gone down the political-correctness rabbit hole. What’s next? If a mentally ill person named Smith thinks he is Napoleon, will you refer to Smith as Napoleon?

I am sick of this stupidity. If you have a "y" chromosome, then every single cell of your body is male. There are no "female" cells in your system, ergo you are *NOT* a female, and NO POWER ON EARTH will make you into one.

You might as well claim to be a "Unicorn" or a "Dragon", for all the good it will do you. The first thing that needs to happen is that these people need to be set down and thoroughly disabused of the notion that they can every be anything different from what they are.

I've known stupid kids who claimed they were "Lycanthropes" (Werewolve people from that stupid movie "Twighlight") or "Vampires" from any one of the other stupid movies out there.

No, you're not a "Werewolf". You are not a "Vampire". You are not a Dragon, a Unicorn, a Tree, nor are you Napoleon, and you are for D@MN sure not female.

Kids are not mentally stable, generally, until the teens are over, anyway. On top of that, you add the instigations of those who prey on the minds and souls of children and you have a recipe for disaster. If I could go back in time, I would erase the person that invented cell phones....:/ I lost control over my kid for a few years but, if you can keep them alive and not too far over the edge, eventually, they come around to normalcy.

I have come to hate cell phones with an intense passion. Especially cell phones in the hands of my kids. Unfortunately most of them are too old for me to get away with taking them away from them.

If only someone would invent a device to fry the evil little devices every time they go near.

The suicide rate among post-op transgenders is huge -- much, much higher than the rest of the population on average, and higher than the suicide rate of pre-op transgenders, as well.

Transgenderism is a mental disorder, and it needs to be treated as such. These people need help, not "tolerance", and letting them live their mental disorders out as normal is killing them.

I argue this topic from time to time, and I believe the numbers on transgender suicide are something like 50%-60%.

These people have serious mental issues, and they should be confined to a treatment facility until they can cope.

Homosexuals. Period.

There are no "gays" and "lesbians." The word "gay" was stolen and used to help prop up their image. Let's face it, the word homosexual has such a negative ring to it.

People are not born homosexual, people chose to be homosexual. And if you really want to get down to the root cause, homosexuality is a very satanic disorder and people chose to become homosexual when they are led astray by the deceiver and accept the lie.

Romans 1:18-32, "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

I don’t know if it is being born in wr0ng body but I do believe some people really feel they are not the gender their body is.

Feelings... Nothing more than feelings...

Psychology at one time was concerned with defining normal behavior based upon what was found to be the norm in the culture/society being observed. As well, psychology at one time identified societal and individual self-destructive behaviors as abnormal.

The Left has hijacked psychology and now psychology defines the norm as whatever happens to be politically correct regardless self-destruction.

This child was sacrificed by the left at the altar of delusional leftism.
