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.
Do you have any idea the actual cause of death? I dont, and if they say suicide, and they have waited this long to confirm, then I would say it was suicide unless you have some compelling information to say its not.
Counterargument: if they say suicide then I would say it was most definitely not suicide unless you have some compelling information to say it is.
In cases like this always assume they are lying and reality is the exact opposite of what they claim.
Yes, we do. The day following the sustainment of head injuries which resulted in the acute loss of consciousness (that is, the day after Nex sustained a severe brain injury) Nex was with their mother preparing to travel for an appointment when their eyes rolled back in their head, they collapsed and were struggling to breathe.
