Trump Trolls Cheer Trans Woman's Suicide Note

 

After a trans woman posted her suicide note to Facebook, a pro-Trump troll army descended to mock her—and her family was helpless to stop them.

Before the abuse from the strangers began, Amanda Waites made arrangements at her son’s school for counselors to be around when she broke the news.

“This time she hurt herself too much and she died,” Amanda told her and her partner’s 5-year-old son, John, on Wednesday afternoon.

Amanda’s partner of nine years, Lizzy Waites, had committed suicide hours before in a Pierre, South Dakota home. Amanda found out when she saw Lizzy’s Facebook note, scheduled to post hours after anyone could help.

“I called police to do a safety check,” said Amanda. (Due to South Dakota’s Marsy’s Law, the Pierre Police Department declined to comment.)

“When they opened the door, she was already gone. She knew exactly what she was doing when she set it for the time she did, so someone could save her cat.”

Amanda called her own mom, then Lizzy’s mom. She went to the funeral home. The police gave her Lizzy’s cat.
