Jennifer Gable's story is almost forgotten, and then....

Jennifer Gable was a transwoman who passed away suddenly in October of this year. I've written about her story here, and it was picked up by several other media outlets  here, here, and here, to name a few. (Do yourself a favor and don't read the Yahoo! comments. I don't know what it is about Yahoo! participants that make them particularly vile.)

Jennifer lived in Meridian, an exurb of Boise, and when she passed away her estranged family brought her back to Southern Idaho for the funeral and burial. When friends arrived to the funeral, they were shocked to see that the family had cut her hair, dressed her in a suit, and buried her as a man.
