Eden Knight is #dead by #suicide after having been forcefully trafficked and detransitioned by her parents.

Here's her final message, which explains how she was tortured by her family and other transphobes and expresses her hopes for a brighter future, one that she will no longer see.

Rest in power, Eden. We'll keep fighting until no trans person, no migrant or refugee, no child has their truth brutally ripped away from them.
