Eden Knight, a 23-year-old trans woman originally from Saudi Arabia, was living in the United States before being contacted by some “fixers” hired by her own parents, who gradually distanced her from her friends and first forced her to stop taking hormone therapy before returning to his country, where trans people are severely discriminated against.
“If you’re reading this, I’ve already killed myself.” It is the text of the last tweet from Eden Knighta young transgender woman originally from Saudi Arabia but living in Saudi Arabia United Stateswhere she lived until last year before being forced by her family to return to her country to undergo one detransition process.
The post, apparently scheduled for early Monday morning, claimed her parents had hired American “fixers” and a Saudi lawyer in Washington DC to bring her back to the authoritarian empire where people live trans they suffer severe discrimination. She went on to explain that she was forced to re-enter Saudi Arabia and then she was denied access hormonal drugs that he took. Another tweet from her family’s account yesterday announced the death of “a young man” with the same legal name as Knight.
Eden’s friends said they hadn’t seen her online for almost two days, something “very unusual for her”. Bailee Daws, 27, a close friend of hers, told The Independent: “I have no doubt that she is dead. It’s awful to say, but it’s nothing speculative at this point.”

Eden Knight, 23, had attended an American high school in suburban Washington DC and then an international school in Riyadh before studying computer science at George Mason University in Virginia. He had reportedly received an international scholarship that expired before he graduated, causing his visa to expire.
Because of sexuality era”extremely scared“about his deportation to Saudi Arabia and was hoping to apply for asylum in the United States,” his friend Bailee said.
Eden had started with that hormone replacement therapy in 2022. Since then, “her mental health had improved” and she had become very active in LGBT+ and left-leaning circles, as well as American social media.
In August, the 23-year-old was reportedly contacted by two “Americans” who offered to settle their differences with her parents, who in their last message described them as “Muslims strictly conservative.” According to the message posted by Eden, the fixers introduced her to a Saudi lawyer who “food and shelter‘ and urged her to stop HRT and live ‘like a man’.
She wrote: “At some point I realized that I was left to them all alone and that if I ran away they could easily find me: without a visa I would be immediately deported to Saudi Arabia. Subconsciously I gave up I was too tired“.
So she returned to the Muslim country, where she claimed that her parents regularly searched her belongings and electronic devices and called her “Fail” It is a “abomination“; She tried to continue HRT, hid the meds, but was caught twice.

Until we meet again.”
