This article has a lot of pronoun trouble.

[9thLife]

The parents wouldn't even have concerned the press unless there was some angle, and if they're Christian, well, hoo baby that is the angle.

[PieterCasparzen]

Should never have had their son in public school.

By the time they removed him he was plumb out of his mind.

This is the new world order and their programs.

Lord please bring revival or judgement upon us nationally, according to thy will, to teach us and motivate us as nations to vomit out these minions of Satan that (amongst their many evil acts) use the news media, schools and the government to promote sodomy.

Isaiah 1

"1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."

[Sarah Barracuda]

The only cruelty was done by the left to convince this kid that a HE can become a SHE..its the left sick society that made this kid into what he became..he was a boy plain and simple, him wishing for girl parts was never going to change that fact, he was a boy end of story

[montag813]

What this boy wrote in his suicide letter was disgusting.

[kingu]

I offer the family my sympathy for their son's suicide. It is a horrible time for any parent to have to bury their child, and all those with agendas who are trying to rationalize a troubled young man's choice to commit suicide are doing the family no favors.

She had a son, he has killed himself, devastating another’s life by walking in front of a tractor trailer. I wish people would stop trying to add to the tragedy by calling her son a daughter. She changed the diapers, she's very sure what sex her son was.

[wideawake]

My parents refuse to acknowledge that I am the Emperor of New Jersey - they address me as if I were a commoner!

[PGR88]

What’s a transgender daughter? A boy?

[RightGeek]

Can one self identify as a Martian? Just wondering.

[latina4dubya]

omgosh—i thought this was a John Semmens satire piece... how dare this writer make it seem as though the parents did not know who their son was...

[JSDude1]

That’s what I was thinking, what is with liberals trying to label someone something that they’re not-especially because the parents rightly recognize that this young man (and his suicide IS tragic) is a man not a young lady.

[GilesB]

The story of a deluded, self-important child thwarted from a foolish obsession. The suicide note displays his inflated opinion of his importance. Narcissism, really.

He was probably fed a steady diet of, you-can-be-anything-you-want-to-be and you-can-change-the-world hogwash...and we see the results.

[Veto!]

One of the comments at the Mail talks about the need to wait until age 25 before deciding to change genders because that’s when puberty is officially over. Prior to that, one would think, surgery of this type should be totally illegal and most certainly not covered by any insurance.

After that, if people are that crazy, let them pay for it themselves.

[The Duke]

Due to this article I hereby bring the word “sanctimonious” out of retirement.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

he recently went on meds for depression.....that is what killed him....type and dosage and teen yields suicidal tendencies

[Pollster1]

I had a son who decided at a young age that he was a puppy. That’s a fun game for a few hours, one that I’m sure many parents have dealt with, but it lasted more than a day. Rather than getting him a collar and a doggy dish and being completely supportive of a permanent identity change, perhaps even demanding that others call my son “Spot”, I got the other kids ice cream. “Puppies don’t eat ice cream, you know.” It only took a little over an hour of things puppies don’t do before we heard the last doggie whimper and my son decided he’d rather be a boy.

These parents were good parents and good people doing their best. Thanks to the evil of liberals who enable mental illness, the parents were unable to save their child, but the blame falls squarely on the far left, not on decent parents who refuse to reinforce their son’s delusions. I don’t want to imagine how difficult raising my child would have been for me if a liberal “Animal Rights” activist had stepped in to interfere with my parenting at the wrong moment.

[NFHale]

The kid’s own mental illness was responsible.

Nobody else.

[Desron13]

"...in their 17-year-old transgender daughter's suicide note REFUSE to accept her female identity..."

They didn't have a daughter. They had an X-Y chromosome son that apparently had mental problems. There is no such thing as "trans gender". Granted with extremely rare genetic exceptions. You are either a man or you are a woman. This code is written in every cell of your body. Mutilating yourself does not change this fact. It only makes you're sickness apparent to all who care to notice.

[aimhigh]

Satan’s goal is to have everything based on lies. Reality will be replaced by lies.

[RansomOttawa]

Putting scare quotes around his parents’ male pronouns just goes to show what a sanctimonious twit this reporter is. Who is in a better position to know the sex of their child, his parents, or some total stranger writing for a British tabloid?
