    Sometimes, good things really do happen. One of the nation’s most virulently anti-LGBTQ+ education officials, Ryan Walters, has resigned—and the impact was immediate. Walters built his career on demonizing

"Nearly nine months after the death of nonbinary Choctaw high schooler #NexBenedict in Oklahoma, the U.S. Department of Education announced this week that Owasso Public Schools had repeatedly violated Title IX for years by ignoring reports of sexual harassment and abuse."

    #TwoSpirit and #Indigiqueer communities mourn #nonbinary teen's death in Oklahoma

    'Something that affects one of us affects all of us,' says Jade Lacosse

    Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News ·

    "Members of the two-spirit, Indigiqueer, and Indigenous #transgender communities are mourning the death of a non-binary 16-year-old teen in Oklahoma earlier this month.

    "#NexBenedict died the day after a violent confrontation in a high school bathroom in Owasso, Okla., near Tulsa. Owasso police said in a statement preliminary autopsy results indicate the teen did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight.

    "Benedict's mother is enrolled with the #ChoctawNation of Oklahoma and the school where the incident took place is located within the #CherokeeNation reservation. Benedict's family said Benedict experienced #bullying from their classmates due to their gender identity.

    "The story has sparked cross-border reaction from #2SLGBTQ+ community members, reflecting on their own experiences as well as the current climate for #IndigenousYouth.

    "'Many of us are in mourning,' said Jade Lacosse, an Anishinaabe and adopted Tlingit two-spirit trans woman in Whitehorse.

    "'This was a young child that very few of us were directly connected to but they're still a relative, they are still a two-spirit relative in the way that our community sees things. Something that affects one of us affects all of us.'

    "Lacosse said the statement from police appears to be about placing blame rather than taking responsibility for discrimination.

    "'A young two-spirit child, one of our relations, died … and it's a direct result of #transphobia," Lacosse said.

    "'The way that they died doesn't change that.'"

  7. Back in March, not long after the death of Nex Benedict, @damemagazine’s Catherine Caruso wrote about how schools became so dangerous for LGBTQ kids. The conclusion? Right-wing outlets are trying to start a moral panic; social media platforms have amplified this; and politicians have legislated to support it. “The real-word harm that has unfolded due to anti-LGBTQ bias and misinformation is immeasurable,” Caruso writes.

    'They are undermining the very principles that made this country great, our Judeo-Christian values and our traditions in this country.'

    Oklahoma state senator Tom Woods sparked fury after referring to trans people as 'filth' as he was questioned about the teen's death.

    Insisting his 'heart goes out' to the family he told a community meeting that 'I represent a constituency that doesn't want that filth in Oklahoma'.

    For legal purposes the title of this video is a question and not to be construed as a statement of fact. The #NexBenedict story has been tied to Libs of TikTok and its founder #ChayaRaichik. Is she to blame? Why does the first amendment protect #Libs of #TikTok?

    The assailants were minors.

    The cover-up was done by adults.

    Being party to a conspiracy of this magnitude will not work out.

    #NexBenedict will have Justice, eventually.

    To finish the episode, the hosts discuss the tragic news about Nex Benedict’s death – the non-binary teenager who died by suicide after bullying at school."

  21. If trans folks deserve to be murdered for defending themselves under the law, I see few motives to make sure I don't get out of any scrape I get into at ANY cost.

    Learn basic self defense, carry pepper spray or other legal self defense items in your area, and if you gotta fight someone make sure they will NEVER be the same after. You will not be avenged by the law, and if you'll be punished anyways, might as well bash bigots as hard as you can.

  23. Big surprise... After "careful consideration", the #TulsaCounty DA has decided not file any charges in the brutal beating death of #NexBenedict, claiming the trans boy was engaged in "mutual combat". In reality, Nex was the target of nonstop bullying, and the victim of a brutal beating that has been all but officially sanctioned by #OklahomaRepublicans. Don't be surprised to see the murderers waving from a parade float, and being honored for their bravery.

  25. One of the things that kept me closeted so long was the fear of violence against me. It still worries me.

    I love being alive so much - to the point that I almost decided being alive as not-me was worth it.

  27. Taken in its totality, the reaction to #NexBenedict's death shows that a corrupt, do-nothing clique is part of a deceptive lie and cover-up that shows they did nothing, zero, zilch to protect the life of Nex or any child like him. The authorities' only goal is to protect the perpetrators, not just those who attacked Nex but all those who will be emboldened to beat others just like Nex in the future in school bathrooms throughout the state.
