Your daughter’s story echoes one I read about a year or so ago. I believe it was in the Washington Post (can’t find a link.)
A young woman from Kentucky who was living in DC took her life. She identified as a man and had transitioned. It seems she had a community that strongly supported her transition - including her mother. Her mother even advocated before the KY legislature for pro transition bills.
DC is a very trans-friendly city. She was employed by an LGBT organization - no doubt also supportive.So all the pieces trans advocates say should be in place to prevent such a tragedy were there. And yet…..
I don’t remember more details about her death. But aren’t we told time and time again that affirmation and support for transition are lifesaving for trans youth. So why is she dead? We are also told that without affirmation and support for transition young people will commit suicide. So this should not have happened, right?
Words fail me. Your loss is so tragic. I'm so sorry.
All I can say is to endorse your observation that the rise in self-harm tracks with the gender trend. My state of Oregon has also experienced disturbing trends around this, which I wrote about a few years ago, if readers want even more tragic statistics:
I am so sorry for your loss. My 19 yrs old daughter is in that cult now. How I hate this cult and the adults who affirm these poor kids. They made me her biggest enemy. Banning transgender procedures or surgeries are far less enough! Transgenderism should be eradicated, once for all!
This is devastating. I am so sorry. It shows remarkable strength and care for other people's kids that you would take time to write this cautionary piece. If you ever want to talk about Ilene on my podcast, please email me at jen.poyerack@gmail.com. Thank you for speaking out.
I am going to say an inconvenient set of truths. Things not easy to accept. Things which will not be easily done. Suffice it to say, here is the thing. This is an attack on us. By us I mean, humanity. The “them” are psychopaths.
Psychopaths took your daughter away. She didn’t die in a random accident or a sudden violent act. She was pulled away from you by psychopaths.
We need to stop trying to understand these people who push this. Stop trying to get caught up in the minutiae of the psychology of trans identifying people.
This literally did not exist until the 1920s.
We need to stop this. By any means necessary. That means taking control of the government and using it to put people who facilitate this in prison. Or have them executed. No half measures. I am not joking.
This is not a game.
This is psychopathic people manipulating the minds of children. Nothing more and nothing less. We owe it to our ancestors to defend their descendants. There is no higher imperative
The legal system here is ultimately our ally on this issue, not our enemy, thanks to the Federal courts. So far, they are not buying the sex = "gender identity" BS for the most part, and I think the Supreme Court will agree.
Democracy is also our ally, because most voters agree with us also.
So we keep it legal and within the system, and show everyone how badly our opponents are defying the law and our rights.
No, you said "any means necessary." That's REALLY not helpful. You just give ammunition to our foes with talk like that. So stop it. Be smart, be effective 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your story, so painful to read, I’m so sorry for your loss, and angry at what you had to go through. Transgenderism is a wretched ideology that has captured our quirky and vulnerable kids. This scandal can’t end soon enough
My condolences on your loss, my daughter is also taking testosterone it is a terribly difficult situation to be in. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story and shedding light on this issue.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ile e was a beautiful young lady in the photo you stated. I am so sorry, that in her TRAGICALLY MISLED life, she was led to believe you were the monster, when in fact you were the only voice of truth and true love, In a mad world of clowns and villains. Since I myself am a patent also stuck in this madness, I call them clowns and villains with no hint if sarcasm or humour... the world has lost the plot and it so sad your beautiful daughter got consumed by their lies. I pray she is at peace now and that you, my dear friend, can find peace and light yet again somehow in your life after such an awful tragedy.
This made my heart ache. Truly. I could feel my chest constrict.
You are generous in sharing your sadness and loss with others. Remember to do what you need to do to support yourself. The basics can get thrown out the window when the press for advocacy or other activity begins to take up most of your time. Be well.
Thank you. I did file the complaint on high school Ilene attended since they were using male pronouns behind my back last whole senior year before college . I did not file the complaint on Rider U since she was 18 when she started T. I did, however wrote letters to Trump on WH site, as well as to RFK, Elon Mask, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Megyn Kelly, Jordan Peterson. I did not hear anything from them yet. Daily Wire, however, also posted my article last week. I’ll try to look for more lawyers. Let’s hope someone will take the case.
What a beautiful talented girl - another lost to this hateful harmful ideology. I’m so sorry for your loss and grief Elvira - thank you for sharing your story with us. So many of us stand beside you.
I am so sorry for your loss and also have a daughter on Testosterone. I share your outrage at the failure of doctors and therapists to consider things like self harm and eating disorders before prescribing T.
I am so sorry for your loss, anguish and pain.

Heartbreaking story. Heartbreaking and infuriating.
Words are obviously not adequate to convey my sorrow and sympathy.
The trans cult is destroying so many lives.

No. Not in the US anyway.
The legal system here is ultimately our ally on this issue, not our enemy, thanks to the Federal courts. So far, they are not buying the sex = "gender identity" BS for the most part, and I think the Supreme Court will agree.
Democracy is also our ally, because most voters agree with us also.
So we keep it legal and within the system, and show everyone how badly our opponents are defying the law and our rights.
We'll win, it'll just take a few years.
As I said, keep it quite legal. I am suggesting using the power of government to far more strictly punish anyone involved in this.
No, you said "any means necessary." That's REALLY not helpful. You just give ammunition to our foes with talk like that. So stop it. Be smart, be effective 👍🏼
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for finding the strength to share it.
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine your loss.

This should never have happened xxx

I am so sorry for your loss.
First I think you should file a formal complaint with the Trump Department of Education to start the federal review of Rider U. federal funding.
Second you need to see if there is cause to sue all involved with your daughter's death once she was in college.
Finally, I want to agree with your stance of not affirming your daughter's new sex. It is and was the right thing to do.
Thank you. I did file the complaint on high school Ilene attended since they were using male pronouns behind my back last whole senior year before college . I did not file the complaint on Rider U since she was 18 when she started T.

I would try sending handwritten letters to Trump, Pam Bondi, and Linda McMahon via postal mail. That gets a lot more attention than email.

This is horrible
