An opinion piece from Jennifer Finney Boylan (@nytimes) on how society should address the issues raised by the tragedy of Leelah Alcorn.
“It

that recognizes transgender experience was about celebrating the successes of
our diverse community, rather than counting the lives we’ve lost. But the
losses go on, year after year.”
