Nex Benedict died one day after a fight in a school bathroom. Their mother Sue Benedict tells Bevan Hurley that the gender fluid teenager endured more than a year of abuse simply for being who they were
I don’t think anyone is saying changing bathrooms will end bullying. Judging by the conversation I’m seeing I think most people are upset that a child in a government institution was physically beaten to death.
Although based on your comment it doesn’t seem like you’re on the same page as those people.
This whole post and all its threads are a ducking train wreck.
Anyway… Looking beyond the headline “Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill that required public school students to use bathrooms that matched the sex listed on their birth certificates.”
I think that’s fucked because it others trans people and sends the message that hating trans people is ok. And I think that makes assholes more likely to be violent towards trans people.
And also a trans kid in this was beaten to death, and might have survived had the school called a goddamn ambulance, or if they had done anything to counter anti-trans hate.
Idk what the duck do you want to hear exactly?
That we should force trans kids to use the bathroom of their birth certificate sex? Or that we shouldn’t?
Maybe instead of dancing around with questions just state your opinion?
I want to hear exactly what I asked for. That the author is dishonestly blaming this senseless death on bathroom laws. That they’re rage-baiting to feed the machine that stifles any sort of progress.
I want to hear an actual answer to the questions I ask instead of deflection.
I want you to acknowledge disinformation, even when it comes from “your side”.

Weird cuz there’s an entire sentence in the headline of this article that mentions banning bathrooms. What do you think they were implying by that?
E: Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Lots of downvoters and no answers.
