Every trans suicide is murder.

Pretty sure it's not a crime so the term "committed" doesn't fit.

Lol. Don't be mad that they don't care. Be mad they let you get to this point. Dems and Republicans see what they feel are the bigger picture.

I get it. Things seem pretty fucking hopeless right now. Wish she could have managed to stick around, though.

National news is likely waiting for a return call from Elon to see if it is ok if they mention this.

was not expecting a story from where I live to appear on lemmy

I don't read the local news very often so I don't know anything about this specific story, but the people here lean (slightly) conservative. Despite this, I haven't heard anyone talking about trans people negatively (at least by adults, I did hear a teen being an asshole though)

though also I haven't been out a lot since the government was taken over so I'd not be too surprised if transphobia has gotten worse here
