Parents speak out after their teen died by suicide: Idaho’s anti-trans extremism took a toll

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/parents-speak-out-after-their-teen-died-by-idahos-anti-trans-took-a-toll/

John Russell (He/Him)July 20, 2026, 1:00 pm EDT

The parents of a transgender teen who died by suicide earlier this year are speaking out about the toll Idaho’s anti-trans laws and the Trump administration’s anti-trans crusade took on their daughter.

“You worry about that hatred being internalized, and that’s what happened to my kid,” Elyse Thorpe told NBC News in a recent profile. “It got inside.”

Thorpe and ex-husband Joseph Pollard describe their late daughter, May Pollard, as an energetic and curious child who loved sloths, video games, and writing poetry. She just wanted to live her life and experience the same things any teen does. But she was also keenly aware of the wave of anti-trans laws and sentiment that have swept Idaho and much of the U.S. in recent years.

According to NBC News, May, who had also been diagnosed with autism, came out as trans when she was in eighth grade. She began receiving gender-affirming medical care in ninth grade. But due to Idaho’s ban on such care for minors, passed in 2022 and upheld by the Supreme Court in 2024, her parents were forced to travel to Portland, Oregon, every six months to get May the care she needed. Following President Donald Trump’s return to office in January 2025, Thorpe began making the 13-hour round trip by car to avoid creating a flight record amid the administration’s relentless crackdown on gender-affirming care for young people.

While the treatment improved things for May, the obstacles placed between her and the care she needed by anti-trans legislators continued to weigh on her.

Then, in July 2023, Idaho’s law banning trans students from accessing single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity took effect. Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit challenging the law on behalf of Boise High School’s Sexuality and Gender Alliance, and in July 2025, May joined the lawsuit under the pseudonym Jane Doe. In court filings, May described feeling stigmatized by being forced to use her campus’s two single-occupancy restrooms, which came to be referred to as the “trans bathrooms.”

“It is scary having to look around before to see if anyone will see me going into the single-user restroom, as I worry about people gossiping and speculating about me being transgender,” she said. “I don’t want people to know I am transgender without my consent — even students who might be friendly. For me, it is not a part of myself I talk about or that I feel is the most important part of my identity.”

Her parents told NBC News that May would avoid eating and drinking during the school day, hoping to not have to use the school’s bathrooms. “I just want to fit in,” she wrote in her affidavit in the Lambda Legal case. “It is upsetting to think that I may have to go through the rest of high school without access to something as basic as the ability to use the same restroom as everyone else.”

May’s parents say she became more troubled last fall and winter, according to NBC News. She attempted to run away to Oregon, and at least one of her poems seemed to reference self-harm. Then on the morning of January 27, Thorpe woke to find May missing from her bedroom. She later found her daughter’s body in a downstairs bedroom. May was just 16 years old.

When a detective asked her parents whether anyone might have wanted to harm May, Thorpe responded that “A lot of America” did.

“There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” an angry and grieving Pollard told the detective. “The whole f**king country. The whole f**king administration, every single f**king day.”

As NBC News notes, over the last few years, Idaho Gov. Brad Little (R) has signed 15 anti-LGBTQ+ laws. In April, Little signed a pair of bills, one of which made it a criminal offense for trans people to use the bathroom associated with their gender, while the other banned Pride flags on government buildings.

As for Lambda Legal’s challenge to the state’s school bathroom ban, at the time of May’s death, she was one of just two plaintiffs left in the case, as all the others had graduated high school and no longer held standing. Earlier this spring, Lambda Legal moved to dismiss the case after the final plaintiff graduated.

But Thorpe has continued to protest Idaho’s anti-trans laws. According to NBC News, she stood outside Gov. Little’s office during a March 31 protest holding a photo of her daughter.

“I wanted to support the protesters and remind everyone, including the governor,” Thorpe told the outlet, “that the stakes are real.”

“The parents go and testify, and we say, ‘Children are going to die,’” she said. “We tell the legislators that, and they dismiss it. I guess they think it’s hyperbole, or they think it’s hysteria, or they think it’s an acceptable outcome, probably some mix of those things. So I don’t understand why there is an unwillingness to connect these laws to these outcomes. It was right there from the start.”

Israeli Lawmakers March On Gaza Vowing Settlements

For those who think it is just the government of Israel that is pro-genocide of the Palestinians.  In fact due to media and training in jewish schools the drum has long been pushing that Palestinians are evil sub humans.  Sound familiar?  It is what happened to the very people now doing it to others.  Seems they learned the wrong lessons from Germany in the 1930s to 1945.  The public is mostly fully OK with what the government is doing and the media has pushed it hard like our own billionaire bought media is trying to do.   The media is hiding the truth and wants to push a narrative that supports / makes Israel the poor agreevied party when they are in fact the ones pushing the hostility and threats onto others.  Israel retuniely killed journalists and banned all others from entering Gaza and the West Bank trying to keep video of the crimes being committed by the Jewish public and Israeli government from being seen by the world.  They know what they are doing is wrong and if people knew the truth they would force their government to stop Israel. 

Israel doesn’t want coexistence with others; it wants to rule over them.  They want to take land they claim a 2,500 year old document gives to them that the rest of the world doesn’t recognize as the borderlines.  Here is the public supported by the majority of the government, saying no Arabs in Gaza anymore. While the IDF destroyed water for the Gazans, they passed it out to the illegal settlers.  If Palitisinans were doing this on their side of the fence the IDF would shoot them no questions asked.  The MR crew is doing an impressive job laying out the difference in rules and privileges for the Palestinians and the settlers.  As Matt says, Israel is now South Africa apartheid on steroids.  Hugs


 

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 7-20-2026

I am sorry this is so late getting out.  Now that I can walk again I am helping Ron renovate the house and create my new office by making the meals and doing the dishes and laundry.  But I am exhausted at the end of the day.  I got to bed between 6 and 7 pm and get up between 4 and 5 am.  I am not complaining, just telling the facts of my life.  On Monday the 6th I got a spine shot that let me walk again.  It is slowly wearing off and the pain and neuropathy in my right leg is again increasing.  This morning I made breakfast of fried potatoes, two slices of bacon each, two sausage patties each, and three eggs fried over medium where the whites are fully cooked and the yolk is still yellow and runny.  Ron wanted two whole muffins and I had two slices of toast.  

Then I went out with Ron to the nearby Publix to get our 4 cases of Publix caffeine free diet cola which is 24 two litter bottles and while I waited for the store to bring them out to me Ron got a few snacks I wanted, such as peanuts and almonds, along with a few other things.  Then when we got home I started the laundry of towels and sat down for a bit.  Then got up to make Ron lunch but he saw how tired I was and told me he could get it himself so I started doing dishes.  

Our next goal is to get the meat slicer out and make breakfast steaks and sliced ham for sandwiches out of the two medium hams we bought.   It is far cheaper that way than buying individual ham steaks and sliced ham from the deli.  Then Ron says he will make supper but I think if I can stand I will.   But I am very tired.   So now at 2:20 pm I am trying to finish the morning cartoons / memes / news posts. 

But the real reason for writing this on this post is tomorrow.  I have my spine surgery scheduled for 07:30 in the morning.  Yes I am worried, but I have to have it.   This is the one where they put me almost mostly under (the person who called me told me I wouldn’t be able to remember it happened).   Heard that before.  But I did remember.  So nothing by mouth but my morning pills which they went over with Ron and I.  

I admit I am struggling with the fact that I will be basicly nude and unable to protect myself during this.  I have been drugged for sex in my childhood.   So as I told people here I have to have a colonoscopy, and this is the same issue.   The thing I have to help me is that this surgeon I have known and been getting epidurals from him that required my butt to be exposed.  Therefore, I trust him.   

I never told him but I know he knows of my childhood abuse because Doctor Brenda must have recorded it in my chart.  Anyway the point is if I can get the cartoons /  memes / and news post out tomorrow I will.   I just don’t know how I will feel after the M.I.L.D. surgery to cut and trim the spinal cord in my lower spine.   Oh Ron and I just trimmed up two hams into sandwich meat and ham steaks for breakfast.  I will post that soon.     Hugs

Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 7-19-2026

Yesterday, I stumbled on a forum dedicated to hate me, where people basically spend their lives spewing transphobic bs, obsessing over my body, making up stuff about me, sharing awful parodies of my work, etc. It really got to me, as I’ve been living with the knowledge that these people are constantly there, stalking each of my movements, for several years now.
I will never understand this kind of hate. I cried a good deal of tears. It was important. I need to feel in order to find the will and energy to create. I remembered who I do all this work for : us. The ones I call my family. My trans siblings. That’s why my new book starts with “we”. That’s why I’m announcing it in the urgency, as a memorandum for these troubled times and a reminder that we are stronger together, and that we need to be there for each other.

We won’t be erased.  Pre-order it on my Etsy store

Currently driving what I'm sure will be my last stick shift car. Even in 2010 we had to special order it. I admit this makes me sad even as I acknowledge the anachronism.
