Wrong, Wrong, and Wrong

It does not state here or there or anywhere else that Abdullah Ahmed (yes that is his real name) did not personally know Leelah Alcorn. Meaning there is no way he could have possible had any hatred for Leelah for be transgender or coordinated with Leelah to kill herself.

Although a lot of the notes are calling the poster’s bluff, (while I was writing this, I checked on the posts and saw that the last user I used for picture deleted their original post), I’m still afraid with Tumblr’s policy of let-hate-this-person-with-no-proof-what-so-ever, users will still blame him on something he couldn’t have possibly controlled.

That driver will feel guilty for the rest of his life that he killed someone, and I can guarantee doxing him or sending him death threats will only make things worse. We don’t need another person to lose their life over this.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? If anything, send condolences to the driver. He was forcibly made to take the life of someone else, and is just as deserving of support as Leelah herself (and in more current need of it, probably).

Honestly, the driver is going to need so much support right now. My father is a transit worker and one of his good friends was driving a subway when someone jumped on the tracks. A very messy suicide. He, the driver, has had PTSD ever since. Can’t even enter a subway station. He was overcome with grief. We need to mourn Leelah of course but can we please not do this?! The driver is probably distraught, he didn’t know anything about her. She left an actual suicide note, he did not run her down, she jumped. Her family made her jump. Transmisogyny made her jump. This has nothing to do with this man.
