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.

Yeah, and Seratonin Syndrome isn't a fast killer either. I've gotten it twice now, and never even got medical treatment for the first one. If seratonin syndrome is the actual killer, this would be serious medical neglect by the hospital

this would be serious medical neglect by the hospital

which would again likely be due to transphobia

Doctors generally think trans people are med hunting. If Nex actually died of what is being reported, the doctors would have had hours to save them, and all the doctors would have had to do is give them a xanax.
