RIP Suzy, Icon Of Trans Struggles In Lebanon
It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Suzy.
One of the most prominent faces of the struggles of transgender and LGBTQ individuals in Lebanon, Suzy was often captured on video pleading for donations to secure rent and sometimes, food.
A victim of bullying, a homophobic and transphobic society, and harsh surroundings, Suzy relied on NGOs and the help of friends or strangers to get by. We learned of her passing from posts on social media, and have no details at this time.
Rest in peace, Suzy. May you finally find the comfort and happiness you deserve.
