Vermont school superintendent and US citizen Wilmer Chavarria: "I was told I have no constitutional rights at a port of entry."

We're devastated to hear the news of Lia Smith's passing. Our hearts are with Lia's family, friends, and the entire trans community in Vermont in mourning her tragic loss. If you or a someone you love is struggling, please remember that help is available.

Lia Smith, a 21 trans student at Middlebury College in Vermont, is dead. Smith, double major in computer science and statistics, was a former diver on the women’s swimming and diving team, a member of the chess club, & an advocate of trans rights. #transrightsarehumanrights #protecttranskids

istfg if we continue to see people using the stigmatized "committed" suicide 🤬 people die by suicide. they do not commit suicide. please stop using judgemental terminology when discussing the cause of death. we are devastated by the young trans woman in vermont who died by suicide.
