Ohio has taken to honoring trannies for committing suicide.
Trannies kill themselves constantly. Should they all get a highway?
When 17-year-old Leelah Alcorn walked into oncoming traffic last year, her death drew international attention and became a tragic symbol of transgender teenagers’ sometimes life-threatening struggles to gain acceptance.
Alcorn’s story resonated all over the world because of a devastating suicide note she left on her Tumblr blog. But local advocate Chris Fortin worried that she might be forgotten in the place where she took her final breath early in the morning of Dec. 28, 2014: Interstate 71 in Kings Mills, Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Transportation has unveiled a sign marking the highway Fortin adopted and named in Alcorn’s honor—an event that coincided with Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance on Friday.
Fortin, 33, attended the same high school as Alcorn and said that learning about her story reminded him of his own experiences growing up and feeling like he didn’t fit in. “As a gay man, I didn’t really have an outlet back in 2001 when I was graduating,” he said. “I didn’t have that support group, and it definitely wasn’t coming from my church.”
In her suicide note, Alcorn detailed her feelings of alienation and suffering after coming out to her parents as transgender when she was 14 and being forced into religious therapy because of it. “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,” Alcorn wrote. “Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something.”
Alcorn’s note prompted President Barack Obama in April to call for a ban on conversion therapy—the mental health practice of attempting to change a patient’s sexual orientation or gender identity—following a White House petition that garnered more than 120,000 signatures. Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett pointed to scientific evidence showing that conversion therapy “is neither medically nor ethically appropriate and can cause substantial harm.”
Forty-one percent of transgender or gender nonconforming people have attempted suicide—nearly nine times the rate of the general population, according to a 2011 survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality.
How can you blame suicide on people other than the one doing it?
Madness.
