Remember her name, remember her face. Value Melonie’s life and imagine her pain.
I will never forget you, Melonie. Find your peace.
“Another transgender woman of color has taken her own life. Melonie Rose was a beautiful 19-year-old trans woman from Laurel, Maryland. From the start, Melonie had a hard life, having been shuffled from foster home to foster home. She dealt with emotional problems, as a result. No doubt, the discrimination Melonie endured did not help the young woman, who attended a therapeutic, alternative high school, Pathways, where she graduated in 2014.
I learned about Melonie from her close friend, Hunter. Like me, Hunter is a transman. He attended Pathways, with Melonie, and they
graduated together, last year. Hunter describes Melonie as, “bright,
and full of life and energy.” Melonie was Hunter’s female counterpart.
His love for his dear friend is clear, as he writes about speaking at
her memorial, telling the story of the last movie they saw together.”ANOTHER Trans Woman who committed suicide. Sigh. If we’re not killed every other day, we feel forced to commit suicide for peace. This needs to be addressed way more.
tw suicide
Only 6,000 notes and she took her life like Leelah Alcorn. Every Leelah Alcorn photo has nearly 100,000 notes. 60,000 notes in 2 days. Hmmm….
Things that make you think.
21,000 is cool but I remember all of Leelah’s posts having 100,000 notes + . lol each one. But I guess it’s good that’s at 21,000 but it’s clear which type of life matters more, even on tumblr. Equality bullshit
^SHUT UP. TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD. TUMBLR NOTES DO NOT MATTER WHEN TWO PEOPLE ARE DEAD. ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN’S SUICIDE, AND STOP MAKING IT A SOCIAL JUSTICE CONTEST.
