Writing for [[Salon (website)|''Salon'']], [[Mary Elizabeth Williams]] commented that "it would be cruel and inaccurate to suggest that Carla Alcorn did not love her child", but added that Carla's statement that she "loved him unconditionally" revealed "a tragic lack of understanding of the word 'unconditionally', even in death".<ref>{{cite web |author=Williams, Mary Elizabeth |title=Leelah Alcorn's mom mourns a "good boy" |date=January 2, 2015 |website=Salon |url=http://www.salon.com/2015/01/02/leelah_alcorns_mom_mourns_a_good_boy/ |accessdate=April 22, 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315113436/http://www.salon.com/2015/01/02/leelah_alcorns_mom_mourns_a_good_boy/ |archivedate=March 15, 2017 |dead-url=no}}</ref> ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine quoted Johanna Olson, Medical Director for the Center of Trans Youth Health and Development at [[Children's Hospital Los Angeles]], as stating that "Did Leelah's parents love her? Yes, I'm sure they did. Did they support her? No, they didn't. And that's a tragedy."<ref name=Helling /> Mara Keisling, the Executive Director of the [[National Center for Transgender Equality]], was quoted as stating that the blaming of Alcorn's parents was unhelpful, adding, "Despite the great cultural and policy advances transgender people have made, there is still a lot of disrespect, discrimination and violence aimed at us. And being a child or a teenager of any kind today is very difficult."<ref name=independent/> -->▼
