It is with great sadness that we share in the loss of Jordan Howe, a beautiful member of this community who took her own life last week. Jordan was a transgender female, but articles using male pronouns with news headlines like "Transgendered Teenager Takes Own Life" show how far the media has yet to come to treat trans* people as valid and equal. Jordan's friend Jared (@jagelzey) shared with us, "It's devastating that my talented and beautiful friend had to leave us they way she did. I know in my heart that her love, wisdom, music, and art will love on. I hope her story helps and encourages other people to see that this is happening daily and can be stopped."
