To the Alcorn Parents,
If you dare engrave Joshua
on her tombstone
we will come to cemetery
in masses.
We will be
dancing,
singing,
chanting:
Martyr. Martyr. Martyr.
Daughter. Daughter. Daughter.
Leelah.
Leelah.
Leelah.
Your blessed baby girl.
please remember during this time that suicide rates tend to spike after highly publicized suicides.
while Leelah wanted her life and death to bring attention to trans issues and we should absolutley respect that, we should also take this time to support one another and be extra vigilant in the effort to spread resources for suicide prevention, particularly those geared towards trans individuals.
posts like this one are super important right now.
i hope leelah’s “mother” realizes what she fucking did. i hope it rots her away from the inside knowing she killed her own daughter. i hope the guilt eats away at her mind until she fucking knows what she did. the transphobic piece of filth cant even give her daughter the closure of calling her a woman in the farewell fucking facebook post she made.
A reminder that whenever a suicide happens and it gets a lot of coverage by the media, the suicide rates increase. So please, look out for other trans people now and especially trans women. Give them all the support you can so there will be no more tragedies like this.
please. keep leelah in your hearts. but don’t make her a martyr. mourn all the other trans girls who died because of injustice too but didn’t get a fraction of the attention. the girls who died because of violence. or because they were pushed to it. the girls who were denied proper care because of how they presented. the girls who were abandoned.
don’t let any of their deaths be in vain
