I also can't possibly imagine how hard it is to grow up in such a toxic environment, especially if you are transgender and already have to face all that stigma. If you read her suicide note everything that she went through was just so heartwrenching. The fact that this, and all the other transgender suicides that go unnoticed, are completely preventable by just having some tolerance and love and understanding is what gets me the most. Also, I feel that if you aren't prepared to unconditionally love and take care of your child no matter what the situation, you shouldn't be having children. It's your duty as a parent to protect them, nurture them, and care for them until they are ready to be on their own. Leelah's family clearly could not do that.
