Jessica Moscatel came out as transgender in 11th-grade English class this spring. The teen asked classmates and teachers to call him Riley Matthew Moscatel from then on.
They did.
The request met little resistance at Bucks County Technical High School, which has other transgender or openly gay students.
"Everyone supported him," said a friend, Kate Cimino, who will be a junior this year. "Everyone loved Riley. He was everyone's best friend."
But on Monday, the 17-year-old appeared to commit suicide, the county Coroner's Office said. Police recovered surveillance video that showed the teen stepping in front of an Amtrak train near his home in Bristol Township.
Coroner Joseph Campbell said Wednesday that his office was continuing to investigate the death. Efforts to reach Moscatel's family were unsuccessful.
His friends and teachers were grasping for answers Wednesday. Friends said he had suffered from depression when he was younger but had improved. However, they said he felt increasingly uncomfortable in his female body.
A note Moscatel appeared to have posted on his Instagram account Monday stated: "My mirror reflects Jessica, my heart and mind say Riley ... You see me as the happiest person in school, I'm a prisoner of my own body ..."

“getting up to pee in the middle of the night to realize your wiener is missing would be stressful!”
Mine’s been gone since I got married, my wife keeps it in her purse or in the refrigerator.

Traffic accidents? that seems kinda weird, wonder what would cause that.
Well, they do get rear-ended a lot.
Mental illness.
good one. :)
These stories get so confusing these days... he/her, him/she, he-she, she-he, cousin it, whatever! It’s like a modern day rendition of “Who’s on first?!”
Actually, that would be pretty comical to update this classic skit with the whole LGBT-Pedo confusing tale.
Suicide by car?
And I'd be a size 4. Oh....the possibilities!!
Untreated mental illness is an obvious source of stress. The solution? Don’t treat those mentally ill people who have gender confusion issues. Somehow, that leads to stress, but liberals can’t figure out why.
The parents should sue the school for enabling this child and not helping HER.

I questioned that too. That one statistic seems bogus, bringing into question the rest.
Drunk driving? Could go hand in hand with the alcoholic thing.
They also have a high rate of alcoholism.
I suspect that has something to do with it.

It was for John Wayne Bobbitt!
“Homosexuals are 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident”
‘Traffic accidents? that seems kinda weird, wonder what would cause that.’
The number of homosexuals that are alcoholics would play into that statistic. Drug use could also be a factor.
Did it ever occur to any of the medicos to try SAME SEX hormones instead of opposite?
One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year. The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime.
That's an example of bad statistics.
"Between 20 and 106"??? Seriously?
Why not tell us what the average actually is? Is it 21? Is it 105? Hmmm?
It's bad enough when the left engages in stupid reporting. It's inexcusable on the right.
Copulating while driving?
Worse - “needed treatment” has been criminalized in some states.
