The suicide of a transgender teen is catching national attention in part because of a suicide note she left behind online.
Leelah Alcorn, 17, of Kings Mills, Ohio, was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on I-71 about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to local media.
Posthumous posts started to appear on her Tumblr page, titled “Lazer Princess,” including her suicide note and a post apologizing to her closest friends.
“My death needs to mean something,” she wrote. “My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say ‘that’s f---ed up’ and fix it. Fix society. Please.”
Alcorn's note explains that she has felt like a girl trapped in a boy’s body ever since she was 4. Then she cried tears of joy when she learned what transgender meant at 14.
“After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was,” the suicide note reads. “I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong.”

You always, ALWAYS! check for the ‘package’ or the Adam’s Apple the first chance you get. Especially before you get to the swappin’ spit stage.
==========================================
You are probably right.
It MEANS that this female was so arrogant that she thought that HER death was going to be "special."
NEWS FLASH: who cares?
GOD cares but He might be the only one.
Suicide is considered a mortal sin, punishable by hell, that is, eternity without God. Our good Lord will be her judge. He's the only One qualified anyway. He made her so He will judge her.
What exactly is a "transgender teen"? Just thinking he was a girl made him a girl, or "transgender"? Talk about f---ed up.
And doesn't this contradict homosexuality anyway? If homosexuality is good and right, Josh should have embraced his homosexuality and rejected this idea of being a "girl trapped in a boy's body". "Transgender" accepts the idea that a man should be attracted to a woman and vice versa. Josh was in pain because he was really a "girl" not a homosexual boy. This accepts that 'Mother Nature's' design of male and female is good and right.
Whoever "taught" this very troubled mind that he was "transgender" at age 14 is who should be doing some soul-searching now. Josh Alcorn was born 17 years ago, a boy. This is an immutable fact. No amount of feelings, emotion or sentiment changes that natural law. This "girl trapped in a boy's body" crap is purely the doing of the homosexual agenda and they are the ones most responsible for this meaningless death.
Mental illness can be fatal. Prayers for her family and friends.
um, what?
Sad end to a messed up life. Looks like it went out as a drama queen, longing to “mean something.” I guess the media will make it a hero now.
NATURALLY the lamestream media MIGHT have left out ANY information about people trying to help her.
Also, people have to ACCEPT help. Not all do.
We won't know more until the lamestream media decides to tell us.
It means the kid was mentally ill, as was already demonstrated by the boy saying “I’m a girl”.
The confused person in the article left a note that says that we need to fix society to avoid all these “transgender” suicides.
In other words, in his opinion, we need to change our society to accommodate his mental illness.
An extremely selfish act that has hurt many people including the truck driver who has to live with killing him the rest of his life.
It’s about time that this condition was recognized as the mental illness it is and treated accordingly.
“Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me. “
Ha! How I wish I could say have said that to them. I have cut libs out of my personal life but I can’t afford to cut them out of my business....yet..
It is not society that is broken. Prayers for his family.
I for one, do not listen to what crazy people scream in the streets.
Well that was one scene that definitely could not have been made today.
Before “political correctness” set in, there was a consensus about these “trannies”. They are homosexuals who are too ashamed of their impulses to even admit them to themselves, hence the neurotic fantasy that they were “meant to be a woman” takes hold in their minds.
A lot of “regular” homosexuals understand this and do not like the trannies because their whole existence goes against the “gay pride” mentality. There are also conflicts because trannies will date homosexual men, then decide that they want to be a “woman”, when their homosexual lovers are only interested in dating a man (parodied on a South Park episode, but it is a common phenomenon).
Yes it does.
Definitely.
It means that nature is ever cruel, unfeeling and uncompromising and without pity.
And Darwin lives...
That is a staggering contradiction in reasoning. The answer is that liberals do not have to be consistent or logical in their positions. Conservatives are called out on inconsistencies in positions or reasoning bit liberals never are. Perhaps it is because liberals are allegedly compassionate and so the media cuts them a break when they report these stories.
” If anyone should feel guilty, it is all of those who didn’t see to it that this poor boy got the kind of help he needed.”
Amen.
Transgender suicide means promoting it as normal can only lead to grief
You may want to check class schedules. The “transgender” teen was anaotomically (and genetically) male, and is therefore a boy.
The article is written referring to him as “she” because of the anti-normalcy bias of the media.
