Jennifer Gable, an Idaho customer service coordinator for Wells Fargo, died suddenly Oct. 9 on the job at age 32. An aneurysm, according to stunned friends.
Just as shocking, they say, when they went to Gable’s funeral in Twin Falls, Idaho, and saw her in an open casket — hair cut short, dressed in a suit and presented as a man.
“I am disgusted,” Stacy Dee Hudson posted on Facebook. “A great and dear friend’s mom went to the funeral today. It was not closed casket. They cut her hair, suit on. How can they bury her as geoff when she legally changed her name. So very sad. Jen you will be missed and people who know you know that you are at peace.”
Gable was transgender, born Geoffrey, but living the past few years as Jennifer.
That wasn’t mentioned in her paid online obituary:
I can't believe these people took the time to transform the aspect of their dead daughter into something she didn't want to be. This is utterly cruel and insane.
FYI she was a lesbian according to her Twitter. I just wanted to point that out because most people assume a transgender woman is just a gay man who wants to be a woman.
1) They shouldn't have shown the body if they were gonna do that .
2) If they're born as a guy they're a guy imo but to go out of their way like that was uncalled for.
