last week RNZ published a story about alex, a 17-year trans teen who tragically died, alone, in 2023. the piece erased both his identity, and story. i know this because i have 6000 messages he posted online in the two years leading up to his death. please RT, for alex: www.webworm.co/p/lifeanddea...
