Yesterday morning I received an email notifying me that Bobbie Ritacco had committed suicide. Bobbie was the president of the GIC for a couple years before the current board took over. We often battled over the issue of whether Gender Identity Disorder is a mental illness or not. We also disagreed on the idea of having suicide prevention counseling available through the GIC. I guess her recent actions have proven my side on these issues.

QuoteI don't want people to die because I couldn't persuade crazy people to seek help.
Interesting choice of words considering there are many who say the same thing about the transgendered in general. How fortunate for us all that there are august people like this who are able to make such determinations.
