It's not easy for Jill Greinke to be in the room decorated by her late 37-year-old daughter Karis Anne Ross. "I'm still not over her death by any means, so it hurts," she said. "She was my hero. She was extremely authentic."
But Greinke said workplace bullying was too much for her transgender daughter to handle. Karis committed suicide in November 2014 and left a suicide note, saying the bullying had happened for 10 years, while teaching at German Immersion School."There were people named," Greinke said. "Before her transition she was being bullied. After her transition she was being bullied."
Family and friends said Karis voiced her concerns to the school's principal, but they went ignored.
Despite that, Greinke said, "I don't blame MPS for my daughter's death. I believe the sad thing it that important things were missed."
"The way it was handled is disappointing," said Madeline Dietrich, friend. "That it seemed to be more covered up than shared."
In order to bring change, Dietrich is calling attention to the issue, writing an open letter to MPS superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver.
"I hope that Dr. Driver will acknowledge the incident, in terms of a case where there was bullying happening," said Dietrich via phone. "I hope she makes a public statement."
Last Sunday on Greinke's birthday, family and friends gathered to celebrate Karis' life and remember the passion she had for helping others, despite no one helping her.
"It's not to blame MPS," Greinke said. "The goal is for this to never happen to anybody again. So that things are taken seriously for all human beings."
We asked MPS about the claims Karis was being bullied and the alleged lack of action by the principal. A spokesperson sent us this, "Ms. Ross was a longtime member of the Milwaukee German Immersion School staff whose presence is still missed."

ReplyDeleteOnyx I know will never commit suicide. Lindaobserve
ReplyDeleteLol.. Thank God you know, me, suicide? Story for the gods
DeleteGood for her.. That's how devil cheated her..
ReplyDeleteSee ehn, commiting suicide cos of what people say is the most foolish thing on earth, yes, i know words hurt alot, especially being very different, but u should be bold enough n havs enough courage to ignore these insults, u can't be Transgender and not be strong enough to stand bullying... Anyway rip
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to be young and to live in a fast changing world where you are now afforded protections, what this individual has had to endure is probably a lifetime of pain and suffering, no justification for taking their own life, but believe me, the shame and pain and loneliness of this person's life, could have overwhelmed her. Sympathy not condemnation is the mature response.
DeleteExactly. U can't be transgender and not be strong enough to stand bullying. First thing that crossed my mind. Smh!

ReplyDeleteLESSON: next time in case you come life again, please remain the man God created you to be,if not dem go rekill ' you again.
ReplyDeleteJust be the way God created you to be. Turning to a transgender comes with much agony and dissatisfaction. Then finally suicide. Be content with yourself.
ReplyDeleteRip.

Eya!!..... from hell to hell
ReplyDeleteEya
ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteRip, what would u tell papa God,
ReplyDeleteThat I walked the path destined for me, though folks all told me to suffer in silence. That at the end, I lived my truth though those who knew nothing told me to live a lie. That I suffered pain, abuse and loneliness for the way I was created, though I tried to be happy.
DeleteBut that for a moment, whilst living my truth, I was happy. So when I died, my story inspired some young child somewhere, to be stronger, some mother or father to protect their child and tell them they are loved, some priest to refuse to condemn a believer and a politician to fight for my humanity before all else.
This is what I tell Papa God. I will also tell him I forgive him for making my life so hard.
Anonymous u hv spiritual issues.......seek help Asap
DeleteOh pleaseee anonymous 7:46....who did you inspire? You encourage mental illness? Laughable!
DeletePlease get help if you are one of them.
Wake up from your delusion! God never made anyone's life miserable. Only be humble to accept His saving grace in Christ Jesus
DeleteU made ur life hard! U. Can't mock God! Doing all dat is telling God he doesn't know what he. Is doing, my dear u need christ, u. Condemed urself my turning. To a trans! Sorry oh! Ur story is all bullshit! Come to christ and experience enternal love and peace! Don't provoke papa God oh!
DeleteI'm not trans, nor do I intend to change my life, I'm very happy in the love I'm given, but I would never devalue another life because I can not create life, nor do I I understand the challenges someone must endure when they feel they are not who they need to be.
DeleteThe spiritual problem here is that a soul had entered into a body that it does not belong to, and God is the only person responsible for mine or yours, so if there is a mismatch, prior to conception, then God is responsible, therefore, if I were these people, I would ask God.
I won't curse them. I won't wish death in them, I won't rejoice if they die, nor would I encourage them to kill themselves.
I feel sympathy. And if you know anything about speaking metaphorically, you would see I am just putting myself in this person's shoes.
Try it once. Don't seat on lofty chairs, where your problem is only hunger and judge those who's problems are deeper than skin deep.
I have my life and I appreciate how simple it is. I also thank God that he has not condemned me to a like wrought with endless struggle. But so that the tides do not change. I learn to have empathy.
Believe me you, there is a testimony in this woman's story, a lesson to be learnt and a cause for humility and gratitude.
Look deeper into what is being written and find what you can learn, but what you can gnash at.
*In those days there will be gnashing of teeth*.

ReplyDeleteThis should serve as a lesson to all aspiring transgenders. Why start something you can not finish? Live with the reality of who you are. Appreciate God for creating you at all. Stop all these cosmetic surgeries and enjoy your uniqueness, otherwise you might end up jumping right from the frying pan to fire.
