When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness. After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was. 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. If you are reading this, parents, please don't tell this to your kids. Even if you are Christian or are against transgender people don't ever say that to someone, especially your kid. That won't do anything but make them hate them self. That's exactly what it did to me.
My mom started taking me to a therapist, but would only take me to christian therapists, (who were all very biased) so I never actually got the therapy I needed to cure me of my depression. I only got more christians telling me that I was selfish and wrong and that I should look to God for help.
When I was 16 I realized that my parents would never come around, and that I would have to wait until I was 18 to start any sort of transitioning treatment, which absolutely broke my heart. The longer you wait, the harder it is to transition. I felt hopeless, that I was just going to look like a man in drag for the rest of my life. On my 16th birthday, when I didn't receive consent from my parents to start transitioning, I cried myself to sleep."

The outcry should be for the innocent driver who no doubt will suffer the rest of their life because of what this jerk did.
Suicide is one of the most selfish acts one can do.
I really believe he was mentally ill. His family did not now how to deal with him. I can understand that most would not.
One can lead a horse to water but not make him drink.
Advising someone to go to God who has resolutely resolved not to, is wasting breath.
But this person’s last act epitomizes what he did with his life, i.e. turn something good to a bad use.
So murder would be one of the most unselfish?
And yet evil will can cause mental illness.
says who? scat!
This is all about creating a narrative so federal laws can be passed to expand transgendered “rights.”
What murder?
The majority of lesbians are chronic alcoholics.
If homosexuality is so great, why are they all so sad?
“And yet evil will can cause mental illness.”
He said he’d felt that way since he was 4 years old. Makes me wonder who molested him around or before that age. Yea evil can lead to mental illness but don’t always assume it’s the person who’s mentally ill who did the evil. They may have had evil done to them that made them off their rocker.
you can’t be serious
From the news article there is a link to this person’s tumbler account in which he refers to himself as “Satan’s wifey” and “transgender queen of hell.”
There are also disturbing, obsessive pictures pertaining to suicide there.
The comments in the article blame the parents and Christianity of course, but this was one disturbed individual; it may have even been a case of possession.
May God have mercy on his soul.
Similar sob stories can be heard for every abhorrent desire.
“When I was 16, my parents sent me to a Christian therapist because I (insert bizarre, sicko thing here). When I turned 18, I finally did (insert bizarre, sicko thing here), to my heart’s delight...”
We cannot let such abhorrent behavior become normative.
Used to be they said there was nothing wrong with a boy liking girly things. Now they convince them it means they really ought to be girls.
Serious mental issues.
One of our local news stations ran a story on this. They never once referred to the kid as a “he”.
Every reference was “she” and “her”.
And, like this one, all of the commenters blamed the parents and Christianity.
The biggest problem I’m seeing as an outsider, is that this person made the decision that their sexuality, as apparently perceived, was in and of itself worth dying for. They could not find anything else in life to occupy themselves with for the next two years? Nothing? He couldn’t have volunteered at a children’s burn center, or perhaps just a homeless shelter. The goal being to think outside of one’s self for just a little while.
I understand that for teenagers, life can appear to be in a status of extreme crisis, with no way out. I also understand that a good psychologist (good, meaning without pushing a particular agenda) can help a person look for meaning in their lives. The same could be said for a good pastor, but this guy was primed o reject any advice from a religious figure at that time.
No doubt about it, the kid needed to be in a nervous hospital.
