Transgender rights activist Henry Berg-Brousseau has died due to an apparent suicide, her mother has confirmed.
Berg-Brousseau, 24 years old, was a favorite among LGBTQ activists after testifying against the transgender bathroom bill in Kentucky in 2016.
The trans activist spoke about being forced to use the girl’s bathroom despite identifying as a man.
Berg-Brousseau became “a leading LGBTQ+ rights organization’ in the wake of “anti-trans bills being proliferating across the country,” the Guardian noted.
She later became the deputy press secretary for politics for the Human Rights Campaign.
