Related: Trans teen dies by suicide after she was “humiliated” by school counselor for wearing a skirtThe 15-year-old trans boy whose name has not been made public died on March 4 in a hospital in Perth, Australia.He had already started living as a boy and had taken on a new name, but he couldn’t legally change it because Australian law requires transgender minors to get both parents’ approval to correct their documents.
And it seems like his father wouldn’t have given permission.After he died, his father wanted the teen’s tombstone to show his deadname, or the culturally female name he was given at birth that he chose not to use after he started his transition.His mother said that her son “would hate” to be buried for eternity under that.
