A police spokesman said previous statements that Nex Benedict didn’t die as a result of “trauma” didn’t rule out the fight as a contributing factor.

      Please edit the pronouns in this comment to avoid removal. I can see it’s an honest mistake, but it still needs to be corrected.

      They like when we kill ourselves. I don’t remember what the number is, but they’ll meme the percentage.

      You’re right, it shouldn’t be any better. But to them it just confirms their belief that LGBTQ people are “mentally ill” and they can blame the suicide on their “lifestyle.” Ugh.

        Them, technically, as they were non-binary. Which I should have said.

        You, however, thought I was talking about a trans woman and don’t understand that trans women are women.

          Let’s maybe not immediately assume the person was correcting you in a transphobic way and instead was correcting you because they actually read the article and knew the correct pronouns? Unless they made another comment I missed, I don’t see any way to interpret that as transphobic besides you assuming for no reason that they thought Nex was a transwoman

          Several other friends said Benedict preferred he/him pronouns.

          From the article??

          I can see you made an honest mistake here, but please confirm the pronouns of someone you’re talking about when it’s from an article about a trans person.
