Nex Benedict's death wasn't just for being transgender, it was for being native too. 2 Spirits are revered in many native cultures and it is a native-specific identity. This wasn't just a hate crime against trans & NB individuals, this was also a hate crime against Natives of Turtle Island.
You cannot separate Nex's trans identity from their native identity - this is a case of MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirits).
Native children being killed at school is nothing new, so it's equally important to talk about Nex's native identity and being intersectional, this is a devastating tragedy for indigenous people, the queer community & especially those of us who are both indigenous and queer.
May Nex rest in peace 🪶

“There will be times when you will feel fear. You will be afraid, or nervous, or uncertain. You will have instinctive reactions to stimuli that you cannot predict. The secret to helping people isn’t ignoring those reactions. It’s to acknowledge that fear, that pain, that knee-jerk response, and then rise above it.”
— Bruce Wayne’s introduction to resisting torture and enhanced interrogation

absolutely believe in the value of being informed but i do envy people who had to wait for the nightly news or the morning paper to learn information. i don't want to know anything on my lunch break. my lunch break is for me, and this microwaved enchilada.

People on the internet can be unbelievable cruel at times but accusing a FEMALE ATHLETE of being a man because she has higher levels of testosterone and some xy chromosomes (as well as her not fitting in the box of how a woman should look like according to bigoted people) is an all time low. She’s biologically a woman and should be treated as such, but instead she’s getting attacked from left and right because her latest opponent couldn’t handle getting hit in the face (the sport is BOXING btw). I hope Imane Khelif is okay and that this doesn’t affect her. She deserves to be there just like everyone else.
