Woodland, who lived in Lexington Park, Maryland, had attended Great Mills High School and was studying at the College of Southern Maryland. She worked at a Hollister clothing store.

“She had several social media profiles, but sadly, she created what she described as her ‘new and final page’ of her two days before her death,” reports Sue Kerr in the Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents. “She had hopes, ambitions, dreams. She celebrated her accomplishments and triumphs. Everything she deserved from her, things taken from her by the gun violence and the transphobia and misogyny that permeates our society.”

Her family has started a GoFundMe campaign to cover her funeral expenses. The page describes Woodland as “encouraging and protective of her loved ones.” After her mother’s death, Woodland “had the courage to begin living in her truth and began her transition, which her family accepted with open arms,” the page notes.

The sheriff’s office has reached out to Woodland’s family, PFLAG of Southern Maryland, and local LGBTQ+ residents “to address concerns about personal and public safety,” reports WMAR.Read More…..
