FYI, (and sorry for the intrusion since you were a friend and I only learned of this person through this HN post) but it appears that you have used their deadname (which is an unfortunate term in this case).
replyThank you for identifying them though, thanks to you I learned of a badass, and I regret the loss.

I'm unsure why the other comment is dead. You've seemingly deadnamed her and used the wrong pronouns.
replyShe apparently passed away after becoming homeless due to struggling to find work because she was trans.
