they investigated themselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing!

This person was beaten but looks like they later killed themselves afterwards probably because they were afraid of getting beaten up again since no one ever seems to do anything about bullies especially if the victims are trans

The one TC linked claims that Nex went by he/they, but other articles only say they/them.

Here's an article, that not only goes into more detail, but also only used they/them pronouns

This is not a perfect comparison, but I'm reminded of the Charlottesville attack where conservatives kept saying victim Heather Heyer died from a heart attack and not from some asshole purposely ramming people with his car.

They'll ignore all the damage the bullies and the school caused this person just like how they'll ignore the damage they themselves have done and still do to both trans people and the LGBT+ community in general. Because they're all horrible "people" who want more of this. They want LGBT+ people dead. They want allies dead.

Correct, however that person is right in that the initial reporting of Benedict's death did say "died as a result" of the beating, even though they didn't die on the school bathroom floor like someone literally beaten to death.

Can you guys stop arguing about pronouns and what exactly would have caused Nex to do this...It's suicide it's likely a multitude of things that nobody here could possibly have any knowledge or awareness of.

It's bad enough that another young teen has taken their life. Again, RIP Nex. This country desperately needs more and better mental health support.

Yeah, better mental health support like trans acceptance and anti-bullying measures in our schools.

Anti-bullying measures definitely. And I hope most people do accept transpeople. I've seen a lot of the time post starting transition people will start neglecting things like mental health and therapy. Transition might be a cure-all for a select few, but I wouldnt want to take the chance.

Not saying this applies to Nex. IDK what their situation was. Just replying to you.

A cure-all for what? Are you implying all trans people are mentally ill?

I'd think less trans people would need help if there was less bullying and more acceptance, to begin with.

You're one of those dudes that cries about being "censored for wrongthink"

I can personally tell you transitioning will not be a "cure-all" for me, a newly outed trans woman, but it will sure as shit make me a lot happier than I am now. The only things that bring me down right now are lack of acceptance from some people close to me.

However using those medications typically just result in a hospitalization. Wondering if it could have been something related to the trauma that made them more effective.

Pushing someone into taking their own life should count as murder. Make an example out out the bullies, their parents, and any school officials that looked the other way.

We'd see some real change if that were to happen

Yeah, it's unfortunate that this happens often enough that I'm not 100% sure on who you mean either. Maybe it was Jacob Williamson? I know when that story first got shared here, a lot of the articles were using his old name.

Yeah, with how this was originally reported, it sounded like they died in the hospital as a result from the attack. I'll chock that up to being intentionally vague about an ongoing investigation. But I still hope the family can get an independent autopsy done.
