So this man went public with his relationship and love for a Tranny only to be repaid by the tranny who broke up with him after people found out!

A 20-year-old black man took his life after being the target of relentless bullying because of his relationship with a trans woman.

On Wednesday (August 21) #RipReese trended on Twitter after a video of Maurice Willoughby, better known as Reese, was seen being harassed by others in his neighborhood.

“Y’all can say whatever you want about Faith. I really don’t care if she’s not passable. I don’t care if she wasn’t born a woman. She’s a woman to me and I love her flaws. That’s what makes her Faith. If you heard her story, it’s motivating. I’m happy. You should be happy for me,” Reese wrote on Facebook prior to his death.

It’s unclear how long Reese and Faith were together, but the young man had her name tattooed on his forehead.

Reportedly the Philadelphia resident battled depression and other mental health issues, which were only exasperated his illness. Reese took to Facebook Live about his relationship and merited 15,000 views, as well as many transphobic comments.

Following the news of Reese’s suicide, many took to social media to denounce the harassment he endured by many in the neighborhood.

Dont turn a blind eye to the violence that our black trans sisters are facing
Protect those that love them for their love is questioned and ridiculed even in today's age

Transphobia kills. Literally. Trans women are always at the tipping point of violence, it’s where we exist, the men that love us are either in the cross hairs of that violence or internalize it and enact it themselves. Kill your transphobia before it kills us. #ripreese1,65710:39 AM – Aug 21, 2019 · Diamond Bar, CATwitter Ads info and privacy521 people are talking about this
