went on to commit suicide.

I read that Alexis died of HIV complications, not suicide. He had had HIV since 1987.

But it was true that he had gone back to living as a man towards the end and had reportedly decided that all the gender stuff was silly.

So Robert Arquette lived 35 years as a man, 9 years as a woman, and then three more years as a man; yet, all the internet sources describe him as a trans woman.
