With heavy hearts, we must share the news that Aimee Stephens, whose landmark case was the first case about the civil rights of transgender people to be heard by the Supreme Court, died today at her home in Detroit with her wife, Donna Stephens, at her side. She was 59.

Sending all my love to Donna and the rest of Aimee's family, my colleagues who worked so tirelessly on Aimee's case, and everyone whose lives were touched by Aimee. She was a quiet, steadfast, extraordinarily brave woman and we owe her so much.

Rest in power, Aimee Stephens. You have shown us what a hero truly is: courageous, steadfast, selfless. Thank you for for beating against that wall which must come down if we are truly going to have equality now & in future generations. Your memory will be a blessing.
