I thought I sensed more anger than concern when I read your post em. I think there's another option here; it's possible that young people with similar problems and similar backgrounds may empathize with this woman, rather than seeing her behavior as cool and seeking to copy it. For these people she would be more 'comrade' than 'role model' - a fellow sufferer, someone that eases the burden of fear and isolation, rather than an example to aspire to. I think I've heard similar charges laid at the feet celebrities that 'outed' their homosexuality in less tolerant times.

Of course some otherwise healthy young people may well seek to imitate her behavior in the hope that this would make them 'cool', and yes, that would be tragic.
