BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
How many more queer kids are gonna die before people give a shit? What are we supposed to do. Nex Benedict did fucking nothing wrong and they had their head bashed against the fucking floor. They just wanted to go home that day.
i hope what people take away from nex benedict's brutal murder is that transphobia affects all trans people, which heavily includes nonbinary people and especially non binary people of color. while people argue over whether or not nonbinary people are trans, we are being targeted by cishets. we are actively being targeted by transphobia. we are in danger of trans panic. we are still trans, and we need our binary trans siblings to stand beside us.
rest in power nex. you deserved better. please fight like hell for them. please fight like hell for the safety of trans folk in Oklahoma. please fight like hell for all nonbinary people. we are trans. we are your siblings, too.
you can help support queer folk living in oklahoma by supporting Freedom Oklahoma, a native-based organization for trans & queer rights in Nex's home state:

Max Hightower, a senior, has been active in Sherman High School's theater productions throughout his school years, and his dedication paid off when he landed the male lead last month in "Oklahoma!," reported KXII-TV. …
But shortly after he was cast in the part, Max said the school principal and told him about a new policy that would take away his role because he identifies as a transgender male.
“Actors and actresses could only play a role that was the same gender they were assigned at birth,” Max said. “I was devastated."
The school district said the show would be postponed until January due to what officials called sexual content and profanity, and they said while there was no policy on how students are assigned to roles, for this production the gender of the role as identified in the script would determine casting.
A 16 year old Owasso student who died after being beaten in the head by three other students. They were nonbinary and a citizen of the Choctaw nation. They lived in the Cherokee reservation of Oklahoma. They had complained of bullying about their identity prior to being assaulted. Police are claiming their death was unrelated to the assault they experienced just a day prior.
Nex enjoyed nature, minecraft, drawing, and reading. They had a cat named Zeus.
I grew up near this region. I have identified as nonbinary since freshman year of high school. I'm a citizen of the Muskogee tribe. I was bullied in high school. My sister is much the same as me in most of this. I hate to think either of us could have been this poor child. They didn't deserve this. I can say from first-hand experience that the handling of bullying in Oklahoma schools is pretty much non-existent. This situation makes me so incredibly sad. This did not need to happen.
I hope Nex rests peacefully. Hopefully, something good can come from this tragedy. Hopefully, we will see change.
A year ago, I was depressed, anxious, suicidal and just out of an abusive relationship.
Today, I'm the happiest and most tranquil I've ever been. I have hope and a future. I got a promotion at work and I've started back to college. It gets better, y'all, I promise. We're going to be okay ❤️
Westboro Baptist Church is looking for attention again. Meanwhile, the kids in these schools are grieving and dealing with being at the mercy of a nationwide controversy.
Fuck The Oklahoma Athletic Commission, or why Nyla Rose deserves the world
It has been half a year, but I'm back. I told myself I wouldn't write another piece until the right topic came up, and it has.
For those not in the know according to this source:
https://okcfox.com/news/local/oklahoma-commission-issues-warning-against-all-elite-wrestling-after-transgender-match7
The Oklahoma Athletic commission have warned AEW "not to do this again or there will be punitive action made against them" in reference to Nyla Rose wrestling a Ciswoman on AEW.
I assume that I need not explain how backwards that is but I shall just quickly. With the amount of time I can assume Nyla has been on HRT there will be absolutely no remnants of Testosterone or other male hormones in her. But also that is all not relevant because this is pro wrestling not any actual sport.
AEW should absolutely never run Oklahoma again (or just run it again and have Nyla on the card) because this is outrageous.
I am a transgender professional wrestling fan. I am a transgender professional wrestling fan who had been having a good day. This has unmade my day. Nyla Rose has uplifted and inspired me so many times and I will never be able to thank her enough for it. AEW made a promise when they made her the second ever AEW women's champion. They may not have known it but to me that made a promise that AEW was a safe place for Trans fans and Trans wrestlers. I hope they maintain that and uphold this promise.
