She was seventeen at the time. After she came out as transgender at fourteen, her parents refused to accept her gender. Then at sixteen, she requested to begin her transition and was denied, instead being sent to Christain conversion therapy. After hinting to her parents that she was attracted to men, her parents removed her from school and revoked her access to the outside world. She walked into traffic December 28, 2014, ending her life. A few weeks later, in significant part inspired by Leelah's suicide note, which was written a matter of miles from my home, I came out publicly as a transgender woman at the age of eighteen. It is well documented that, compared to both our cisgender Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual (LGB) and cisgender heterosexual peers, transgender, gender non-conforming, and gender diverse (trans) people are significantly more likely to be chronically homeless/housing insecure; engage in sex work; interact with the carceral system; consider/attempt suicide; cope through drug use; experience repeated employment discrimination; and so much more. And we are more likely to experience abuse from our family members of origin. So what happens when trans youth are trapped with their family of origin for months amid a national lockdown? According to recent research, Leelah's experiences of parental abuse are not uncommon among transgender youth. For example, one study found that 35% to 73% of the youth interviewed were sometimes or often verbally abused by their parents for their gender expression, that among those verbally abused the largest portions were yelled at or criticized; however, about 50% were sometimes or often insulted, made to feel guilty, and embarrassed in front of others by their parents (Grossman & D'Augelli, 2007). The study then goes on to report that 13% to 36% of the interviewed youth were sometimes or often physically abused by their parents for their gender expression, that more than 25% were slapped, beat, or hit very hard, and from 13% to 20% were punched, kicked, and pushed very hard (Grossman & D'Augelli, 2007). And finally the study also reports that among those interviewed, those who attempted suicide were significantly more likely to have been verbally or physically abused than those who did not (Grossman & D'Augelli, 2007). But as mentioned previously, trans individuals' expereinces of violence are typically significantly more severe than cisgender LGB or heterosexual individuals. So how does this fact
