Alcorn had posted a [[suicide note]] to her [[Tumblr]] blog, writing about societal standards affecting transgender people and expressing the hope that her death would create a dialogue about discrimination, abuse and lack of support for transgender people.

At age 14, she [[coming out|came out]] as trans to her parents, Carla and Doug Alcorn, who refused to accept her female gender identity. When she was 16, they denied her request to undergo [[Sex reassignment therapy|transition treatment]], instead sending her to Christian [[conversion therapy]] with the intention of convincing her to reject her gender identity and accept her gender as assigned at birth. After she revealed her attraction toward males to her classmates, her parents removed her from school and revoked her access to [[social media]]. In her suicide note, Alcorn cited loneliness and alienation as key reasons for her decision to end her life and blamed her parents for causing these feelings. She committed suicide by walking out in front of oncoming traffic on the [[Interstate 71]] highway.
