Ashley Hallstrom, a
26-year-old transgender woman from Logan, Utah, Ashley Hallstrom posted a plea on
Facebook on Wednesday, October 14, calling for people to help change the stigma
surrounding transgender communities. She then took her own life by
stepping into the path of an oncoming dump truck on a highway. Logan, Utah police said they believe that the act was intentional.
"According to witnesses and information that we gathered on the scene, it appears that the pedestrian had jumped in front of that northbound vehicle," Capt. Tyson Budge said in a statement. "Evidence at the scene gave every indication that the driver had attempted to swerve and brake, to avoid the collision but was unable to do so" Budge added.
See the suicide note Hallstrom wrote on her Facebook wall before killing herself, after the cut...
These are going to be my final words. I can't stand to live another day, so I'm committing suicide. The reason why I've decided to do this is because I'm transgender. For those of you that unsure of what that means, it means that even though I was born in a male body, I am and have always been female. I've known I was female for as far back as I can remember. This caused me to become severely depressed from a very young age. From a very young age I was told that people like me are freaks and abominations, that we are sick in the head and society hates us. This made me hate who I was. I tried so hard to be just like everyone else but this isn't something you can change.
It wasn't until I was 20 that I found out I wasn't alone. I had hope that I would finally be able to live as and love who I am. I finally came out as transgender and began transitioning. For the first time in my life I could say I was genuinely happy. Despite this huge change in my life I never completely got over the depression being trans caused me. Everywhere I'd turn I'd see the hated that society had for us. I had already been poisoned by a society that didn't understand us and, even worse, didn't want to even try. I saw the pain it caused to people like me and going though this same hurt myself it has just become to much for me to take anymore. I wanted so much to help those going though what I had to because nobody should ever have to feel that they hate their life so much that they want to end it all just so they won't have to experience another moment of this sadness. I'm not the first to feel this way and sadly I know I won't be the last.
I'm writing all of this because I've need my story to be shared. I don't want to be just another number of a tragic statistic. People need to know that I'm not just another face of someone they never met. I was alive. I have a family and friends that I love very much and I'm so sorry to them for the hurt this will cause them. I loved being around those that I love. I loved listening to music and singing. I loved going out to eat with friends and enjoying good food. I was a real person. I still want to help people and I believe I still can. Please share my final words. I believe my last words can help make the change that society needs to make so that one day there will be no others like me. Please help make this change because trans people are everywhere. You may never know who you're hurting until it's too late. Please help fix society.

People are becoming increasingly stupid every blessed day. I dunno whether to say RIP.
I don't get he wanted to be a woman, so he transgendered, killing his/her self now will help do what.
May his/her soul find the peace that eluded him.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Now he she have to end up in hell fire.so sad
I have no sympathy what so ever am sorry, for a second you didn't think about the poor driver of the dump trunk that has a death on his hands. He/she could has decided to end his/her life another way
These people reject the laws and authority and morals of God that created them and decide to live by their own rules and morals and laws and then turn around and say they are depressed and that itbis society's fault that they are depressed. Only deliverance from the demons that torment them and made them rebellious against God can deliver them. Another one heads to hell. How tragic. How sad. Rebelled against God till the bitter end. How tragic .
Good. Hell still has space
Mbok there is absolutely nothing to fix in the society regarding this rubbish of trans wahala than the fact that the devil has actually brain washed you people about who you truly are. How on earth will you be born with a penis and claim you were meant to be a woman? Are you mocking God or what? You never see something yet, you thought the world was wicked to you? Go let the devil show you what true wickedness is for taking your life. What gave you the right to take away your life? Can you create one?
If you were so happy transitioning, why did you kill yourself.. smh.. sorry oo
Hmmmmm indeed sorrowful, but suicide hasn't solved the issue. Now you're facing judgement.
Don't kill urself for any reason
There's always a huge light at the end of the tunnel
That vuvuzela P guy
Mtchewww I dnt even feel pity 4 u.. 1 ur a trans 2. U took ya own life. U knw wia ur going already

For all your quality and affordable female wears, accessories, handbags and footwear,kindly add us on bbm pin: 2bb40d42, we deliver at ur doorstep thank you.
Should I tell u RIP ?
Yes, Rest in peace
Okay RIP
Hmm!
Eyah! She must have been very depressed before then.
Your comment will be visible after approval.
Don't support suicide, but since she decided to take her own life, did she have to involve someone else. Does she know what kind of trauma the driver of truck will face knowing he killed someone even if it wasn't his fault.
She's complaining of the world being hateful but she sure didn't leave it a better place by her selfish act, she only contributed to it
Screw her..she's stupid.. let them keep killing themselves and rid the world of this manner of foolishness..
Don't really get dis idea of men tryna be women. Rest in peace all d same.
Oya, Oynx Godwin, linda ikeji fake son over to you....these are your people; men with feminine burukutu. Don't just go kill yourself because God will me angry with you!!!

So sad...did he know dat he would probably end in hell fire? Such a waste of life. He had friends a family and he was healthy but just because he considered himself a female look where it has landed him. I believe that these trasgenders have some mental problems. If you are born a male you will always be a male no matter what you do, same thing if you were born a female. These transgender people need prayers and deliverance. Look how this guy allowed the devil to let him lead a life of sins and to die at such a young age. SMH
Jus like dat, ur own 'Jesus is coming soon' don happen like dat o. Go and answer God
Good for you,so you want to change our perspective about trans,NO it not possible,you yourself know that it is not right,you were born a guy not a woman,so go to hell
Tears,tears rolling outer my eye,tears of joy,Aunty linda you are a blessing,you've inspire a lot of people out there,LORD JESUS when will my time come. TIMILEYIN BLESSING

Thk God I am an African..The Whites see suicide as norm. The reason 4 dis is that most of them are free thinkers; they don't believe that there is life after death, either hell or heaven.
I hope more of them kill themselves or be killed
This is just the beginning,America will so fall like sodom and Gomorah,For them to go against the wisdom of God they will not go unpunished.who was blabing about don't judge nd all that,you'll be next on the bumpy flight to hell if u don't watch wat ur thumbs type.
And you had to shout.....
I hope more FAGGOTS/TRANS kill themselves or be killed
Pathetic Fuck.

How I wish there is a like button for comments on blogs. I like your comment jor.
She is a girl it's a disease sort of thing gosh don't you people know anything. Thou shall not judge you don't know where you'll end up either act like a Chrsitian. Be caring you're just horrible
Do you call yourself a Christian? Telling someone to go to hell? 'Christian'
I want to really blame our parents bcos dis craziness started from childhood and when the parents are not available for children, they ll have freedom. Peergroup is another cause, we need to know d kind of friends our children have both at home and in school. We must oversee what they do, curb their excesses and train them well to avoid this type of act.
As I started reading ur text,i felt like for the first time in ur life,u are writing sometin that makes sence.then u go and end the last 2 lines with ur witchcraft.chai!u should say a prayer for ms sahara,and not wish him the same bad fate.
Tank u @jules louis.its a human we are talking about.if only he got help somehow maybe he would still be here. God still remains d ultimate judge oooo
Whichever wayTrans are sick people and should be seen as such..before u transformed, u werent happy..u finally Transed..still no happiness
Tramsgenders need to look for better explanation for their insanity.

Thank God he has saved the life of the driver that hit him, the driver won't find himself behind bars! He observed that the transgenders are sick in their heads to do transitioning in these societies, why not another planet?!
rest his soul!
Sad, RIP

Are you God?
But why allow an innocent truck driver do your suicide job for you? What if there was no evidence that you intentionally wanted to kill yourself? That is how the innocent truck driver would have gone to jail for reckless driving
She started missing his prick
Not even an RIP, oga oo, remember there is only one hellfire...whether you're a transgender or liar. RIP
To all the transgender community..y'all can never be genuinely happy until y'all stop this madness...this is sheer madness.....

All these white people no get any problem @ all,they made me realize having no problem is a problem.Madness full whiteman land.
These white people just made me realize that having no financial or social vices like terrorism and poverty could even be a problem.If u were born in Africa u won't even be thinking of suicide on the ground of gender transition,u would rather think of suicide on the ground working tirelessly and earning just little.Madness dey worry u.
If u can't leave with the consequence of your action, why do it...mstw.. Freedom to do whatever u like isn't insanity.No prayer for ur soul. Not being cruel tho
Kayla , your comment is a tad bit unclear .First you call IT a disease and then you ask us not to judge IT. Tbh I think the only way I could practically understand all these weirdness , is to term it a culture of 'the now' .Society ,appreciates rashness,so people don't think of repercussions. This story is a classic case of the grass is not always greener on the other side .He didn't find the happiness, he searched for after transforming(call it high tension) ,so at a point when he was down and broken he obeyed society and gave in to his present emotions .This is my own opinion tho ; I do hope he rests in peace ( tho I doubt he will) .To think he had people he cared about and who probably did same ....LIFE
Anonymous aka Mr. Nobody .I think its right you remained that way .Kayla ,while ,we are not mean to judge ,complacency is the first step to compromise and finally acceptance of evil ; and they know it ,which is why they keep playing the victim card .
