Proud Trans Flight Attendant Commits Suicide
A transgender person has to face numerous problems and issues on a daily basis. We can never know what it will ever lead to..This is one such case where it lead to suicide.
Kayleigh Scott, a transgender flight attendant has committed suicide. She had achieved great fame in 2020 when she was in an ad by her employer, the United Airlines. It was an advertising campaign to celebrate transgender visibility day which is on 31st March. It is a day dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide.
In the video, Kayleigh said she was very embarrassed because she was trans. But after a while she realized she had a story and how important it was to tell it to the world. It is important for others who are still struggling in society. She said her life changed for the better when she did that video. She felt proud of herself and lastly she said, "I'm proud I'm trans." Kayleigh Scott was 25 and died in her Denver, USA apartment on 20th March 2023.
In her last post on different social media accounts, Kayleigh Scott wrote," As I take my final breaths and exit this living earth, I would like to apologize to everyone I let down. I am so sorry I could not be better. To those that I love, I am sorry I could not be stronger. To those that gave me their everything, I am sorry my effort was not reciprocated." She tagged some of her loved ones in her post and asked them to remember her for the good times they shared. “Please understand that me leaving is not a reflection on you, but the result of my own inability to turn myself for the better," Scott added.
Lastly, she promised that she will see them all again on the other side. Kayleigh's sister, Ashley Scott says that Kayleigh was the light of their lives and that she was a selfless soul. The death is being investigated by the police and the final cause behind it is yet to be known. Her body is also sent for an autopsy.
It is very sad that Kayleigh took this step. We hope that other trans people remain strong in their journey.
