Today is Leelah Alcorn’s birthday. This beautiful soul, whose time in this world was cut short with her own hand, pushed by those who pushed her true self away, she will live on in our hearts. Please never forget her, and who she really was. And in that, please remember her struggle, and know that that same struggle carries on as a burden on thousands of trans-teenage shoulders. Support those you know, and never push them away. Hold them close and raise them up.

We love you, Leelah. Rest in peace.
November 15, 1997-December 28, 2014
