Sad News
Awhile back, a sportreporter for the LA TImes, Mike Penner, transitioned and became Christine Daniels. Then, something happened, never fully explained, and Christine "detransitioned" back to being Mike Penner. He continued to write for the Times.
Today, he was found dead in his apartment, an apparent suicide, at age 52.

The comments on Mike/Christine’s obituary are heartening and saddening at once. I wonder if s/he had any idea what a step forward for the world it was to see that decision and struggle from someone so public and obviously respected in the sports field of all places.

So sad. Like you, I hope she is at peace now. What a tragic waste — probably because of people who just cannot accept what they don’t understand.

It is always horrible when people commit suicide. I just wish that as they were about to do this , that they would STOP, and first think of what their friends, family and children would feel like if they found them like that. Stopping to pause,and really thinking of others, instead of thinking of yourself, that simple thing, can and might prevent “some” suicides.
