FULL TITLE: Christian parents accused of 'cruelty' in their 17-year-old transgender daughter's suicide note REFUSE to accept her female identity - but insist they loved 'him'

The mother of a transgender teen who killed herself over the holiday season is speaking out, and making it clear she did not and does not approve of what she believes was her daughter's choice to be transgender.

Carla Alcorn of Kings Mills, Ohio said in an interview that she and her husband did not 'support' their daughter Leelah Alcorn, while also refusing to acknowledge her daughter's sex, using male pronouns and referring to her as 'him,' 'he' and 'son' throughout the interview.

However they insist they loved their child unconditionally and are devastated by the tragic suicide.

This just days after Leelah walked in front of a tractor trailer and ended her life, writing in her heartbreaking suicide note that because she was transgender, 'The life I would've lived isn't worth living in.'

Even more upsetting is the fact that she also shares how hopeful she once was in her letter, writing; 'When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness.'

Probably due to the fact that he was their son.

The only “cruelty” was done by the deceased for cruelly ruining the life of that innocent truck driver.

“referring to her as ‘him,’ ‘he’ and ‘son’

Probably due to the fact that he was their son.”

That usually happens when a baby is born with a penis. Just sayin’.

The left is stuck in an eternal cycle of self-absorption and self-centeredness. If they want something, it must be good. If they do something, it must be moral. Those who stand in their way are evil bigots. They, however, have used up my lifetime supply of guilt. You are born with a sex and cannot change it. To tell anyone otherwise is to tell a terrible lie. Twenty to thirty years from now as we see the devastating effects of this nonsense we will finally realize who is on the side of evil.

Brain washing on a massive scale.

Unless this “person” had an extremely rare genetic defect, he was NOT “transgender”. He was born biologically a male. Any decision to self-identify as female does not undo the biological code.

It is so sad that society and the media have fueled this kind of garbage - by telling people it is “normal” to pretend to be of the opposite gender you were born (or “loving” someone of the same gender as you, instead of the God-ordained and truly normal pattern). By telling them it is “normal”, they then are deceived, and thus “hurt” when told the truth. So they run off and commit suicide...

BARF BARF BARF.

“X” + “X” = Girl

“X” + “Y” = Boy

It's not rocket science

OTOH,there's a literal myriad of psychiatric disorders,at least one of which the dead kid was well familiar with.

The pronoun disorder in the story as written is another sterling example of political correctness run amok.

It just amazes how someone can suggest a male is female and a female is male just because you wish it so.

Not only was he born with boy sex organs, I guarantee the screwed up doofus used his male sex organs for pleasure many times...so how can that equal anything like a female experience.

A female existence includes having to sit while peeing, getting a monthly period, being having your boobs start growing big, knowing you have the capacity to get pregnant. We guys can know nothing about that experience.

It’s beyond ridiculous to claim to be something that you’ve had no experience with and that by definition you can never be.

Just because you birthed the child, diapered the child, and raised the child - that doesn’t mean you know the sex of the child.

Ask any Libtard.

Has all the press become biology deniers? It’s pretty clear that one cannot alter one’s sex by acclamation, yet that is their position when they entertain the folly of transcendsexualism.

Your Libtard Quotent is far too low to understand - why, don’t you remember those angelic, Obamoid youths chanting “Yes, We can!”

Furthermore, I’ll bet the White Mosque wants to know why you never contributed to ANY Libtard organization.

The next guy who gets caught poaching deer in the off season should simply tell the arresting officers that he’s a wolf and that he can’t help hunting deer because his lupine instincts always win out. It’s speciesist for them to charge him as a human, when he’s simply a wolf doing wolf-like things.

This kid learned the wonderfulness of transgender-it from the left.

THEY are the ones who killed this kid.

One more year and that transgender thing could have done whatever it wanted when it turned 18. It could have moved out.

I’m not playing the “he” “she” bit because it obviously is an “it”.

Suicide note is better written.

Shame that the skill of the writer is gone.

Was it in cursive?
