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.

    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.

      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.

      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
