Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A selfie photograph of American suicide victim Leelah Alcorn, taken in 2014. It depicts her wearing a dress, thus conveying visual information regarding the individual's identity as a trans girl. She cited the transphobia and discrimination that she faced in life as a key reason behind her decision to commit suicide.
Author or copyright owner	Leelah Alcorn
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: http://lazerprincess.tumblr.com/ Immediate source:
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Death of Leelah Alcorn
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	For visual identification of the person in question, at the top of an article devoted to her death, which also contains wider biographical information about her. Further, by depicting her in feminine attire it visually reflects her identity as a transgender girl, something not conveyed in other publicly available images of her, where she is dressed in masculine clothing.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No free alternative is available. The individual in question is deceased and thus a new photograph of her could not be produced.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	A single image of low resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Use of a small-resolution version of this image will not harm any commercial interests that the relatives of Alcorn might have.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since 28 December 2014.
