Of course, the local news has erased her memory, probably at the behest of her parents.
Leelah's Tumblr is gone. Thanks to Diana for providing this updated info.
Unfortunately, as a minor, her parents don't have to honor her wishes. (Her mother is milking the "our son was called home to Jesus" angle on Facebook but there's virtually no trace of her. Lots of pictures of her sister but Leelah? If there were any, I didn't see them.)As for my will, I want 100% of the things that I legally own to be sold and the money (plus my money in the bank) to be given to trans civil rights movements and support groups, I don’t give a shit which one. The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was, they’re treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights. Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something. 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 fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please.
