Ash Haffner’s mother only has to listen to herself to understand why her son killed himself.
Ash Haffner, a transgender boy, committed suicide last week by stepping in front of an oncoming vehicle. He couldn’t stand the bullying anymore after transitioning. The cornerstone to acceptance for a transgender person is addressing us with the correct pronouns. None of the families who have lost trans children his year have done that.
Video trigger warning. Misgendering. Ignorance.
FOUR US teenage transgender youth have committed suicide in the first 8 weeks of 2015. None of the family’s accepted or understood their children’s gender expression.
Leelah Alcorn, Zander Mahaffey Melonie Rose and now Ash. All were misgendered by their families.

I would HIGHLY encourage you to gather the FACTS before publishing an article with false information & slander. I was FULLY supportive of my child and REGARDLESS of what Ash's sexuality/gender determination would have ULTIMATELY been, I would have been Ash's FIRST & BIGGEST SUPPORTER! Ash was "confused". Articles like this about myself & my child sicken & upset me. I HIGHLY suggest you get your FACTS FROM THE SOURCE not articles looking for ratings & debate, and correct your article. Have questions...ASK ME! Go to facebook.com/doitforash for FACTS for your article including personal writings from Ash's journal addressing this issue. Sincerely, Ash's mom
