#according to the patreon post aaron went by both aaron and lily so i tried to use both names in equal measure

An acquaintance of Aarons spoke out with details about her online life, including confirming that aaron went by both aaron and lily, and used he/she pronouns. I'm really glad that someone he knew (even if they didnt know it was discourse) spoke out on this with more details. We son't know much about her identity past this, and im frankly not comfortable discussing his identity when we have so few details from lily herself.

I am still uncomfortable with the posts that were dissecting his online presence for clues, something aaron/lily never asked for and never expounded on. I was especially angry at the part that implied the armys lack of insurance support for bottom surgery couldve been a catalyst point for anything, considering how blunt and intentionally direct aaron was about the goal of his self immolation. I sympathize with those who saw glimpses of themselves and wanted to talk about it, but there is a time, a place, and a tone that must be considered especially on such a public platform.

We will never know more about lily. The horrors he was forced to commit and the action she flet she had to take means we'll never get to know who lily couldve been. This is true also of every palestinian citizen killed by israel, especially the children who had experienced only a few years of life before being cruelly taken from the world. That was Aarons final message, that for every tragic death like hers, theres tenfold happening in palestine at this moment and it will only worsen unless we take notice and force it to stop.

free palestine. free gaza. permanent ceasefire now.
