In Memory of Lia Smith

March 7, 2004 – October 18, 2025

Our hearts are heavy as we honor the life of Lia Smith — a bright, courageous young trans woman, student-athlete, and advocate whose light touched so many.

Her loss is a painful reminder of the cruelty so many trans people still face — and of the urgent need to create a world where every young person knows they are worthy and wanted.

Lia was just 21 years old — a double major in computer science and statistics at Middlebury College, and a diver on the women’s swimming and diving team. She was also an outspoken advocate for transgender rights and inclusion.

In a better world, this story would have been one of discovery, joy, and self-acceptance. Instead, it ended in tragedy. Lia’s death by su***de is not only heartbreaking — it is a devastating reminder of the cruelty, fear, and hostility that so many transgender people endure every day.

Lia was a student-athlete, but this year she wasn’t allowed to participate at all — excluded because of an incredibly hostile political climate and the failure of institutions like the NCAA to stand for fairness and inclusion.
Two years ago, she was a talented young swimmer at Middlebury. Today, her name and profile have been quietly erased from the college’s athletics website. We can only imagine the pain and isolation that kind of rejection must have caused. For someone whose love of sport was part of her identity, that loss must have cut deeply.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Lia’s family and friends — especially her parents, sisters, teammates, and all who knew and loved her. May they find comfort in knowing how many lives Lia touched, and how deeply her courage and advocacy continue to ripple through our community.

The transgender life is not an easy one, even under the best of circumstances. But being trans in a time when political leaders weaponize identity, when laws threaten your right to exist, when even spaces meant to celebrate your gifts become closed doors — that multiplies the pain beyond measure.

At Real Mama Bears, our mission has always been rooted in support, education, and empowerment. We believe, fiercely, that together, we can change the world. But that world must include trans youth who are protected, affirmed, and free to live out their gifts — not punished for who they are.

Lia’s story reminds us, with unbearable clarity, why this work is so urgent.

So today we implore you to stand with us and help build safer communities where every young person knows they are worthy and wanted.

Because every time we lose one of our own, the world grows dimmer.
But every act of love and advocacy helps light the way forward — toward the world Lia deserved: one of discovery, belonging, and unconditional love.

May her memory fuel our resolve.
May her courage call us to action.
And may we, together, continue the work Lia believed in — building communities of safety, love, and belonging, where every young person knows they are worthy and wanted.
