A bullied transgender woman jumped from the George Washington Bridge after posting suicidal thoughts online — and being told to just kill herself already.
“The rest of you don’t have to worry though, i’m gonna kill myself soon enough and you won’t have to be bothered by me anymore,” tragic Rachel Bryk, 23, wrote on April 7, adding that she’d left the message board 4Chan for Reddit because of the abuse hurled at her.
A bully spat back, “DO IT, if you’re such a weak willed thin skinned dips–t then f–king do it.”
Bryk, a blonde with pink streaks in her hair, finally ended her torment Thursday. The Wall, NJ, resident kicked off her shoes and leaped into the Hudson River from the bridge’s north walkway at around 6 p.m., leaving her pink handbag behind.
Two nearby officers tried to stop the young woman, with one cop screaming, “Don’t do it!” to no avail, authorities said.
Port Authority officers later saw a body floating in the water but have so far been unable to recover it from the river, police said.
Bryk left behind an eerie posthumous message on her Twitter account marking the end of her life.
“Guess I am dead. Killed myself. Sorry,” read the scheduled tweet, which appeared on her feed about eight hours after her fatal jump.
Bryk, a developer for the gaming Web site Dolphin, had complained about “constant transphobia” and online bullying in Internet posts she wrote weeks before she died.
Her devastated mom, Lisa, wrote on Facebook that her daughter was the victim of bullying but also said she suffered from “constant physical pain” due to rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
“She seemed to blame the pain as the No. one reason [she committed suicide], but there were a lot of other things going on, too,” Lisa Bryk told The Post on Tuesday, alluding to the bullying.
Bryk, who was born male, told her parents about being transgender when she was 22.
“We were fine with it,” Lisa said. “I was just happy she was finally able to be who she was and live the way she was meant to live.
“She seemed happier after she came out, but I guess online she had a very different view,” the mom added.
Bryk’s suicide came just a day before Olympian Bruce Jenner revealed on national television that he’s transgender and is transitioning to become a woman.
It also was five years after Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi, 18, flung himself from the same bridge after his roommates streamed a video of him hooking up with another man on the Internet.
