Transgender bus driver threw herself in front of train after being called 'sir' by passengers

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.

The least unhappy(note that I did not write “happiest”) transsexuals are those who revert to normal or as normal as they can attain after all the surgeries and hormones.

I have heard their are suicides among trans people,

Among those who have actually tried to transition to the opposite sex by surgical means and hormones, suicide is the number one cause of death.

This does not include the cosplay characters and NPCs, who dress up and act out but do not mutilate their bodies or take powerful hormones. (Gonadal steroids are the most powerful and chemically reactive naturally occurring organic compounds in the human body).

As a group, trans people have the highest rates of mental illness, as well.

It is or Demonic Possession. Or a combination of both.

The whole situation is sad

I purposely am not going to meme THIS particular thread. (and the choir says “Hallelujah!”)

On a serious note: I know one of these people but because I only see them at their job, I cannot even share a tract with them. They have always been decent to me.

They are obviously under severe stress with all of that (it’s a guy). Who has recently started carrying a ladies’ handbag πŸ‘œ. He’s so stressed that he sometimes can’t remember what you said 2 seconds ago. It’s a very delicate situation so I don’t know what to do but we talk a little about church here and there.

There was a younger gal there too but she left to do something else. She had a female “partner” even though she had been raised a strict Catholic (as she told me a couple of years ago)

Sigh πŸ˜”

(Satan is really preying on the emotionally unstable and confused.)

Yes. It’s why Normal Society should stop πŸ›‘ embracing it. It just does even more harm.

Though not all, some are as you just described (story I just related)

He’s not a coworker but a guy working
at a place where I go from time-to-time

BUT I believe you correctly assessed
his situation. What a world 🌎🌍🌏...

God bless

Sad story. But it got me thinking.

Anna Karenina, in Tolstoy's novel, commits suicide by throwing herself in front of a train.

I read it a very long time ago so may have missed some clues. Maybe Anna was really "trans"--originally an Andrew.

>> Suppose your soul had been incarnated many times as one sex, it doesn’t matter which. Then suppose in this lifetime you are incarnated as the other sex. You won’t know why, but you might look down and say, “what the hell is this”? <<

You nailed it, but not the way you meant to. This is all about a RELIGION, not medicine. It’s a false religion, contrary and irreconcilable to Christianity, being forced onto the public. When it comes to gender, you are what your genes say you are.

I’m glad you didn’t use one false argument: this whole hysteria, (and that’s what it is despite the problematic etymology of the word) has zero to do with the very rare but existing phenomenon of genetic intersexuality, none of which (XO, XXY, XYY, etc.) wcause transexualism. (Androgen insensitivity does, but not only is it astonishingly rare, but creates hyper-feminine people; no-one would ever give them problems for using the women’s room.)

>> Of course you are going to “identify” as something other than what your birth certificate says. <<

If you remembered your previous life so thoroughly and all your patterns were so thoroughly entrenched, yes. But that’s literally impossible. Anyone who thinks they remember a past life is delusional.

>> Even more confusing, suppose you were incarnated in many lifetimes back and forth, one sex, then the other? That’s when the “something else” might kick in, adding letters to the sex list. <<

Which letters? Wouldn’t such a person be able to live AS EITHER? Most non-binaries I’ve ever heard of can live as NEITHER. We’re talking about a guy who supposedly through himself in front of a train (a spectacularly hateful way to end your life, by the way, deliberately scarring people for the sake of being dramatic) PRESUMED by the “journalist” because he couldn’t deal with people calling him, “sir.”
