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.

There is a sadness at the core of all forms of sexual unrest.

“They sold him that lie”

The operative word “him”, something that can never be changed.

As a young boy I grew up where most males in our culture aspired to be real men buy doing anything considered masculine of the era. Most women of the era wanted real men as partners. Women wanted their man to stand up to bullies and the evil of the world.

It’s amazing how the democrat/communists have turned all of this into a mental illness circus.

“Risks of Untreated Gender Dysphoria:
It’s important to acknowledge that untreated gender dysphoria can also have severe mental health consequences, including increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. “

They'll never really know the reason why "he" took "his" life.....but since were leftist twats were gonna say it's because passengers kept calling "him sir.

I guess the real reason is that nobody on the bus would engage in "his" insanity.

The transinsanity is part of.... Marxism.

Cultural Marxism, to be precise, and the ‘deconstructing’ (destroying) of our culture.

Where was the first transgender clinic?

Berlin. Weimar Republic.

I did Nazi that coming...

Definitely. These people have a mental issue. We saw two, they had to be men, in Alaska as bus drivers that “ sounded “ female but had beards, wore healed boots and flipped their longer hair like girls.

It was a hard way for Mr. Hudson to repent, but his sinning is over now.

Clearly it was the uniform that caused the suicide. Another victim of fashion.

For Pete’s sake HE WAS GLAMOUR MAGAZINE WOMAN OF THE YEAR.

However, I can see him being called ‘Fake Chick with a 🍆 of the Year’.

The article is written to suggest that it is the fault of the other bus drivers. One can feel sorry for the dead person without accepting this suggestion of causation and blame.

These people are mentally ill, and every study shown has determined them “tansitioning” in any way reduces the risk of suicide or improves their outcomes

The Trans nonsense is an absolute scam

What a travesty, the fact she was a tranny indicates she may have been nuts to begin with.

A girl who wants to be a guy is handed a dildo.
A guy who wants to be a woman has their genitals mutilated beyond recognition.
It’s a cruel joke on all of dem!

“trans” doesn’t just mean fake, it also means mentally ill.
