Non-binary kid beaten to death in Oklahoma
Nex Benedict was a non-binary person in a Tulsa-area high school. Nex was born female (according to what I've read). As I understand it, the girls' bathroom is the one which Oklahoma's Anti-Trans law says Nex should use. So I find it particularly ghoulish that Nex was beaten to death by fellow students, when using the girls' restroom. Note that Oklahoma's cruel, inhumane "Anti-Trans Bathroom Law" wouldn't apply to this situation (I think), because it would've stopped a trans girl (a person born a boy) from using the girls' bathroom, but Nex was not a trans girl (right?) and had been born (according to articles I read) with girl anatomy. So we could say that Nex was killed despite complying with the law. It appears that Nex was beaten, and died, because Nex used the gender pronoun "they." Apart from how shocking it is--to kill a peer who uses a pronoun different from yours, it will be interesting to see what charges are brought agai...
