The cowards, this is how its being reported on all major news channels. Lie after lie.
In a statement to ABC News, the Owasso Police Department said it suspected the cause of Benedict's death, but refrained from saying anything pending the results of the medical examiner's office.
The students of Oklahoma are holding walkouts to honor Nex. It would be appreciated if you joined any nearby vigil or march honoring them, in solidarity.
Remember that this wasn't some passive death, transphobes actively and knowingly agitated harm against them. This was a murder, not a suicide. They, an indigenous trans minor, died in the hospital after being assaulted in the bathroom by 6 transphobes.
Last week, a family buried their nonbinary child, Nex Benedict, who died after being brutally beaten in the girls’ bathroom at their high school in Oklahoma. According to their mother, 16-year-old Benedict had been bullied relentlessly for a year leading up to the incident, in which a group of peers ganged up on them and a trans student. It’s a horrific case and one that is inseparable from its context amid a climate of seemingly unceasing anti-LGBT demonization in the state and the nation.
Remember, an injury against one of us is an injury against all of us.
The fact that they make little effort to even give performative anti-transphobia is just them signaling that this shit is okay
So much for the accepting nature of liberals
Sickening to the core, may justice come to the murderers
Are you kidding? Liberals are incredibly accepting.
Accepting of murder, accepting of genocide, accepting of bigotry, accepting of fascism, accepting of any bad thing that happens to other people. Liberals love to accept any and all forms of injustice, their only limit to acceptance is any existence in opposition to or resistance whatsoever to that injustice.
this is legitimately a good quote though, starring
god I fucking hate liberals, they've sold their soul for cash and comfort
This is such a banger comment
Gonna hang this one on my wall
