I wanted to add some more to what I posted originally.

I really wan us as a community to see people like Leelah as people. As a human. Not just another name, not a martyr, as a girl. A young girl who never graduated high school, who struggled with being alone, who was an aspiring artist.

Leelah was a child. One with so much potential. She was old enough to have been a friend of mine. Or a sister, or even a coworker. Leelah was someone anyone coild've known.

She wasn't perfect. She was a kid who was stuck with ****** parents that denied her. Stuck with parents that preffered a dead "son" to a healthy daughter.

On top of that, she wanted all of her worldly possesions to be sold or donated to help other trans people. And her parents probably won't honor even that request.

Rest In Power Leelah.

We will do what we can to change the world for you and every other dead trans child who never had a chance.
