OK, fuck this.

I just saw a post where someone was talking about donating to something which included the sentence “Please help me to ensure that Leelah didn’t die in vain.”

And you know what? Fuck you. I know the intention was good, but this just summarises exactly what seems off about the way a lot of poeople having been reacting to this.

Because it doesn’t matter how many charities you donate to, how much awareness is raised. She will always have died in vain. Because there is nothing honourable in dying. Because it should never have fucking happened in the first place.

Yes, maybe this is what it has taken to make you want to do something. But nothing will make her death “worthwhile”.

Do not use Leelah’s death as a tool - a means to achieve an end. Do not treat it like one. Treat it like the fucking tragedy it is.
