Aazios also quoted a friend of Willoughby, who chose to remain anonymous, saying judgment over his relationship played a role in the death.

‘He was getting picked on and joked on all the time,’ the friend said. ‘Where we are from, if you like trans woman, and you black, the streets will talk about you, fight you, even try to kill you.’

‘He was dealing with a lot,’ the friend continued. 

And then there were these comments that also made this author wonder. See what you think?

Ashlee Marie Preston tweeted, ‘When a man is confident & secure enough to openly love a trans woman; this is the bullying and harassment he gets. When trans attracted men kill us; it’s out of fear that this will happen to them if they are outed. Reese didn’t kill his girlfriend; he killed himself instead. #RIP”

Janet Mock tweeted, ‘My heart breaks for Reese, for his girlfriend, and their loved ones. These men screaming at him are beyond fragile, standing on a shaky altar of masculinity, too insecure to do what Reese did: Unapologetically love a woman who everyone says is unworthy of love.’
