More about Nex

“Nex did not see themselves as male or female,” Ms Benedict said. “Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that.”

This is a gut punch to read. I've seen "old folks" go through that journey of gaining understanding. Ideally it wouldn't need to be a whole journey but there's something loving in people willing to grow.

But not knowing just how at risk they might be ... from this kind of violence.

what could have been.

Nex was a really good student apparently. Had strait As. So a nerd. Another gut punch. They just remind me of more than one person I know and care deeply about.

Oklahoma banned trans students from bathrooms. Now a bullied student is dead

Nex Benedict died one day after a fight in a school bathroom. Their mother Sue Benedict tells Bevan Hurley that the gender fluid teenager en

I try to not see too much information about the murders cause it's incredibly triggering, but I just wanted to say smth before I block the tag

Nex was practically a child. Brianna was practically a child. Both of them were teenagers, barely older than myself. The adults in their lives were supposed to protect them. The school was supposed to do something, someone was supposed to call an ambulance, somebody was supposed to do something. I'm a trans kid, a bit younger than them. I live in Florida. I never really felt safe, and especially not with all the recent legal developments, but this is the last straw.

People are dying. Teenagers are dying. Not just dying, they were murdered. And even for those people who try and shift the blame off of their murderers by claiming it was suicide, that's not any fucking better.

I'm just a kid. I shouldn't have to fear for my life, and doubly should not have to spend my days terrified that my life is in danger by the people and systems that are supposed to keep me safe - that I'm supposed to be able to trust

If anybody legitimately thinks that any of this is to "protect the kids", go fuck yourself. I am one of those kids you claim to worry so much about, and I can tell you firsthand that you are only making things worse.
