We're not going to mention that women may have treated her badly because they clocked her as a woman pretending to be a man?

That's possible, though without interviews with the people she interacted with, impossible to tell. The worst part about that hypothesis is, even if it were the case, most of those women wouldn't come forward to admit it in a modern climate: "No, I wasn't mean because she's a man and I treat most men who aren't attractive to me like garbage, I was mean because I thought she was trans, and I treat THEM like garbage!... Huh? Fired? My home address exposed on Twitter? What!? Why!?"

Assisted suicide? What was she dying of? Something inoperable?

I think they recently started offering it for mental problems like depression. The Canadian government has gone full evil.

    Likely lying

    Isn't wanting to kill yourself a symptom of depression? That's like treating a fungal infection by stuffing all your orifices full of mushrooms.

    According to her Wiki article, she went to Switzerland for the suicide booth.

    I'm not sure.

    There's a price to be paid for honestly reporting a counter narrative.

    Maybe she was depressed. Maybe jabbed. Maybe the zealots got to her.

    Walking back one's own hypothesis and reporting the opposite takes courage. She has my respect for that.

    RIP.

    I popped open a few articles. Some hinted that it was depression that made her kill herself. One indicated that outright. Either nobody has the balls to just write: "She was depressed and requested assisted suicide because of her depression", or they don't have confirmation so are guessing and gently dancing around it so as not to get too heavily corrected or dragged to court.

    I don't think treating depression by agreeing with one of it's most dangerous mental symptoms is a great idea. That's like someone having Body Integrity Dysphoria about their head, so you get them surgery to have it removed.

    Apparently she's tried to kill herself before as well. Said one of her books is essentially her suicide note. For anyone else who is thinking of taking their own life, please, please remember this: Make your note short, I don't have time to read a 350 page book to see if my name is in it.

    Frankly I think she had a personality disorder, hence the easy identity swapping.

    BPD has one of the highest suicide rates.

    I don't think we should be helping people with mental disorders commit suicide. One of the symptoms of these illnesses is wanting to die - The idea if to help them overcome that, not say: "Yeah, you're right. I mean, there's nothing physically wrong with you, and you could live a perfectly normal, healthy life if we could help you overcome this desire to die, but anyway, jump into this gas chamber, miss."
