Transgender Homecoming King Dies From Apparent Suicide: Report

A year after Blake Brockington was voted homecoming king at East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, the transgender teen died from an apparent suicide, The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday. Brockington, 18, was the school’s first transgender homecoming king.

When he was voted king, he told local LGBT newspaper QNotes: "I honestly feel like this is something I have to do. Nobody should be scared to be themselves, and everybody should have an equal opportunity to have an enjoyable high school experience."

The transgender youth activist became open about his identity when he was a sophomore. He explained to the Charlotte Observer in January that he never felt comfortable wearing dresses, even though he but was still forced to wear them. “It didn’t make sense. I felt like a boy," he said.

Brockington’s untimely death echoes the passing of Leelah Alcorn, the Ohio teen who scheduled her suicide note to appear on Tumblr hours after she committed suicide. Like Brockington, her parents did not accept her and her mother told her “it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong.”

I have a relative that one night after to many beers told me of his experience like that. He meets this “gal” that he hits it off with in the bar. They drink, dance, suck face etc. Night gets long so they take it outside and his roman hands finds more than he expected....I don’t recall him telling me what happened next because I was laughing so hard I was in tears

Homosexuality ejects Reason and Logic and goes with “feelings” and is an immaturity, a fixation in a puerile, irrational age.

It is caused by neglect or child abuse or/and peer rejection, and rejection of Christianity (moral formation), etc....it is intrinsically disordered. When normal sexual identity formation is destroyed in a young child-—or trauma occurs and proper bonding to both parents doesn’t exist-—you have all sorts of emotional trauma to the child’s formation-—and a “warping” of Reality and desires and emotion damage.

With two parent families rare and satanic TV the role model of dehumanization and dysfunction normalization, and the artificial, sexualization in the public schools which destroy innocence and normal sexual identity formation and Virtue——you will get confused, immoral, emotional cripples.

Suicide seems common among these types.

I wonder how many of these suicides come after they realize what they have done to themselves?

I seem to recall DUmmie trannies complaining that men would not date them. They probably want real men forced to date them or something. I think it was even a hard sell at DU.

Anybody remember that DuFu??

If I walk into my garage & stand there long enough next to my car, will I become a car?

XY or XX, that’s the bottom line (yes, there are genetic chromosomal exceptions, extremely rare ones).

Another LGBT (or is it GLBT or GLBTQ...who gives a you-know-what) “martyr” like Matthew “Laramie Project” Shepherd.

Transgender Homecoming King Dies From Apparent Suicide: Report

Anyone who's studied the issue learns pretty quickly that the suicide rate among "transgenders" is 50% and more.

My Armchair Psychiatrist's opinion on this is that they have serious mental problems which cause them to want to be "transgender" and it is those underlying mental problems that result in their high rate of suicide.

These people need mental help, not enabling or affirmation.

A female can never be “king” of anything simply by virtue of the meaning of the word. A male can never be “queen” for the same reason. Words matter. Calling someone something they are not simply because they have a mental disorder does not help the individual. Like another poster said, if I call myself a car, would you introduce me as a Chevrolet??

There is a pretty convincing “woman” who works at a business in my town and my 13yr old is still not convinced when I tell him that “it” was born male. I’ll admit that the person has got the moves down and without the characteristic sassiness that you often see with gay men. What tipped me off was the broadness of the knuckles and fingertips and the height (nearly 6’). The face in profile doesn’t look quite right for a female either, but it is subtle. The person wears really tight jeans and there have obviously been amputations.

I think the dating scene for the next generation is going to be a nightmare.

There was an article on Cracked.com recently that was attempting to make you feel sympathetic for a woman who transitioned to "male", but didn't have bottom surgery.

Oh, the trouble they had with finding a 'date'.

Apparently she wanted to live as a GAY man.

And the sad, weepy part, is that I guess that the vast majority of real gay men for some reason DON'T want to date a woman with a plastic penis tucked in her pants.

Go figure that one out.

Guess real gay men are some kind of bigots or haters.

Deeply conflicted and emotionally unbalanced people can not be made whole simply by treating them as “normal”, no matter how hard we try....

Poor little girl. Too bad she didn't get the help she needed. Going along with people's mental illness is not helping them.. it's hurting them even more. “It didn’t make sense. I felt like a boy,"
You can never feel like a boy if you are not a boy. It's impossible.
