Leelah Alcorn

Recently in the Ohio area of the United States, a young teenage transgirl, Leelah Alcorn committed suicide. 
Her suicide note is here for those to read (contains potentially triggering content) There are also many articles like this one, this one, this one, and these two.

Her request on her suicide note states that she wishes for her death to mean something and for awareness to be made, which is what I'm doing here. Please, spread the word about Leelah Alcorn, about the wrong she went through, about the wrong that all trans teens and trans adults go through. Don't let those who took away their lives or had their lives taken away die in vain because of the petty, horrible abuse and hatred of those too ignorant, selfish and cruel to treat them with the respect they deserve as humans.

Rest in peace, Leelah Alcorn, and all transgender people. Your deaths will be in vain no longer.
