Thank you.
Names are absent from the headlines today to a dehumanizing degree.

Every trans suicide is murder.
Pretty sure it’s not a crime so the term “committed” doesn’t fit.
Out of curiosity, what word would you use instead of committed there?
Died by suicide. Took their own life. Those are the most common I hear.
I haven’t heard the first at all interestingly. I do prefer the second phrase
It’s easier to say for sure.
It is a crime in most US states. If you find yourself hospitalized after a suicide attempt, you will be guarded around the clock until you’re well enough to be moved to a state psychiatric facility. You remain property of the state until release from said facility. You may petition the court to prove that you are stable enough for release, but you’ll likely be released before you see a judge.

People get committed to their romantic partners all the time. You know, a wedding.
Commit means more than doing crime.
was not expecting a story from where I live to appear on lemmy
I don’t read the local news very often so I don’t know anything about this specific story, but the people here lean (slightly) conservative. Despite this, I haven’t heard anyone talking about trans people negatively (at least by adults, I did hear a teen being an asshole though)
though also I haven’t been out a lot since the government was taken over so I’d not be too surprised if transphobia has gotten worse here
Lol. Don’t be mad that they don’t care. Be mad they let you get to this point. Dems and Republicans see what they feel are the bigger picture.
National news is likely waiting for a return call from Elon to see if it is ok if they mention this.
I get it. Things seem pretty fucking hopeless right now. Wish she could have managed to stick around, though.
Wish she wasn’t murdered with social engineering
