A transgender bus driver took her own life by jumping in front of a train after colleagues kept referring to her as male.
Ava Michal Hudson, 27, died on August 7 last year on her way to work at the Chicago Transit Authority, while in her uniform.
She didn't leave a note and gave no indication she was suicidal before suddenly leaping to her death, just four days after attending her brother's wedding.
'Sadly, we’ll never fully know the reason for her death, but the pain left behind after her sudden departure has been acute,' her family wrote in her obituary.
'She has already been mourned by many, many friends and relatives across the globe. She will be very much missed and never forgotten.'
Hudson got her bus license just seven months earlier, last January, and passed probation weeks before her death, proudly announcing it in her final Facebook post.
The new job was a turning point for Hudson after several years of struggling with her gender and unemployment after graduating from Wheaton College in 2020.
Transition costs were expensive, running to $875 a month according to a 2022 court petition to legally change her name, plus more for counseling.
Her $61,000 bus driver salary finally allowed for expensive procedures and gave her financial independence for the first time.
'The day she got her CDL driver’s permit in November 2023 was one of the happiest days of her later life and things finally started to take a turn for the better,' her obituary read.
'She often called or texted photos to her family during breaks on her bus routes.'
But the job never quite fit - both literally, with a boxy uniform that led to passengers innocently calling her 'sir', and her isolation in the role.

Some very good comments here. Freepers understand what happened. An unhappy man with serious mental problems thought that “becoming” a woman would make him happy. It didn’t. It’s just cosmetic surgery, dressing differently, and a name change. It doesn’t change the reality and he is still a man. When he realizes that all that he went through didn’t make him happy he can not take it any longer.
Shoulda’ lazered off the facial whiskers while he was at it and increased the hormones for roundness, shave the apple, vocal chird modification and... SMH... he was sold a lie, but BIG MED and BIG PHARMA alongwith financial concerns gained some profit so in that world... I guess that is as good as it gets.
The world is sick
The Mentally Ill democrats treat transgender as normal like them
The guy was mentally ill and society pushed him into more and more illness.
Well he was already mentally ill so him committing suicide is not that surprising.
I’m just glad it didn’t take a bus load of people with it.
Satan is really preying on the emotionally unstable and confused. But the fact is that the holy spirit p4icks their hearts just like everyone else, but they reject his promptings and harden their hearts and fol.ow their lists. Transgenderism is by and large a conscious decision to wallow in sinful lust, and not something —THAT MOST— “can’t help”, they certainly can help it but choose not to. (Emphasis on most- there are some truly mentally deficient people who are cajoled into transgenderism by sick perverts, but I believe those mentally deficient will not be held accountable for their actions/decisions because of their lack of mature understanding)
A new drive-thru-only restaurant in our area that is growing well in the surrounding area opened up. My wife and I went to it twice, and both times a man who had already transitioned to a quasi-woman gave us our order. He went by a woman’s name, as I struck up a conversation with him/her and (s)he told me it, along with his desire to move to Chicago in a few months.
That location closed about four months later. We drove past it a lot, but never saw cars ordering. We specifically drove an extra mile in a completely different direction to go to a location where they didn’t have such an unstable person.
My guess is that people just did not trust food coming from such an employee.
A man who cuts off his own penis is the epitome of crazy.
If the doctor tells your parents, “It’s a boy!” COWBOY UP, PUT ON YOUR CHAPS AND SIX GUNS AND DEAL WITH IT PARDNER. Geez. Cowboys rob trains, they don’t jump in front of them.
Ain't that the truth!
threw himself
His life
Thank the Lord he didn’t become an airline pilot. When they want to punch the clock, they shut off the fuel and take a how crowd with them.
Tell me you cant spot the moment her plans went off the rails?
I wonder what the actual suicide rates are for “transitioned” versus “un-transitioned” trannies, since that should have implications for public policy. My impression from articles posted on FR is that physically transitioned individuals are way ahead in the suicide derby — but that could be just confirmation bias.
I agree. In this case they’ve convinced themselves that the only way to be happy is to be something that they can never be. To pretend they can change something that can never be changed. To run away from themself. No psychiatrist should say that is a healthy thing. It is this attitude that needs to be treated, not cutting off body parts to manufacture an illusion.
“Supporting” psychosis instead of treating the underlying mental illness ought to be a crime. State legislatures need to step up and protect the vulnerable with laws that stop the current foolishness.
No, you are sponsoring and paying for this. Your taxdollars.
Plus, everyone’s other medical expenses are increased ‘cause those predators profiting off mutilating folks COULD have been doing worthwhile medical work in some other (less lucrative) field. Every trans project increases your costs on more mundane (and sane) medical practices.
Transgender bus driver threw herself in front of train.
No indication she was suicidal.
What did they miss on that obvious warning.
