It’s still a sad story for this teen’s family but it’s not the story that activists rushed to tell us all last month. From the very beginning what was clear was that the circumstances of Nex Benedict’s death were unclear. As this report from Feb. 8, the day Nex died, states, the connection between a fight at school and what happened the next day was uncertain from the start.
But not knowing what had actually happened didn’t stop trans activists from framing this in the most extreme ways possible. Some examples from X:
🚨#BREAKINGNEWS Dagny Benedict a 16 year old non-binary student was beaten to death by classmates in Oklahoma. The school didn’t call authorities or an ambulance. Dagney died the next day. 🚨
