The news has been spreading across social media over the past few days, with several news outlets misgendering and deadnaming the victim. I have seen a small handful of posts about the entire thing, but only a couple with any sources about what happened.
I spent the morning combing through articles. This is a list of publications reporting on the story that don't deadname Nex:
Pgh Lesbian Correspondents: "Grieving Nex Benedict: the Brutal Killing of 16 Year Old Nonbinary Student in an Oklahoma High School"
The Pride: "Non-Binary Student Dies After Violent Bathroom Fight at Owasso High School in Oklahoma"
The Washington Blade: "Nonbinary Okla. High School Student Dies After Fight"
The Los Angeles Blade: "Oklahoma Non-Binary High Schooler Dies After Physical Alteraction"
LGBTQ Nation: "Teen Beaten to Death in a School Bathroom Bullying Attack. The School Didn't Call an Ambulance."
Freedom Oklahoma: "Rest in Power Nex Benedict"
Indy 100: "Thousands Raised for Non-Binary Teenager Beaten to Death at School"
The Independent: "Oklahoma Banned Trans Students From Bathrooms. Now a Bullied Student is Dead After a Fight."
Daily Dot: "Oklahoma's Top Education Official Called Out Over Libs of TikTok Ties After Non-Binary Student Beaten at School, Dies Later"
Daily Kos: "Libs of TikTok Targeted a District, Then a Non-Binary Student Was Killed on Campus"
Malang Post: "Owasso High School Mourns Pupil's Death After Altercation"
The fandom going the five stages of grief at the ineffable divorce
Denial - the coffee theory. That was so OOC for Aziraphale!
Anger - whY WOULD YOU LEAVE IT ON THAT CLIFFHANGER NEIL I AM IN YOUR WALLS PLEASE HINT S3 BEFORE I DISCORPORATE
Bargaining - fix-it fanfics. Clock theory. Maggie is a demon and/or angel. Rewatching S2 and pretending it ends right before Metatron walks in
Depression - Rewatching the scene over and over while sobbing. Sad edits. Neil I'm billing you my therapy
Acceptance - there is none until S3 sorry
Quick reminder that this is Alex Hirsch. This man created my favorite TV show ever and made a 12 year old me feel the most seen he ever felt because of the amazing characters and story in Gravity Falls. This man changed my life and also happened to have won a bird calling contest and went on TV to show off his skills. What a guy.
For me, 14's shock at hearing himself say Isaac Newton was hot isn't shock that he finds a man attractive, it's not sudden bi/pan/queer panic, it's shock that he said it out loud.
He keeps sharing his emotions out loud, saying he loves Donna & Wilf, when 10 could barely think the word love.
Thoughts about the Doctor Who Christmas special:
This episode was SO FUN. It was sweet, funny, but above all, this shit was GOOFY. I think doctor who is at its best when it doesn't take itself too seriously. This episode had goblins in a big pirate ship and the Doctor doing a musical number. It was so silly and I loved it. The Doctor is finally allowed to have fun and serve cunt, as God intended. Ncuti is so cool and is already becoming my new favorite doctor. Ruby is super cute and spunky. I can't wait to see more of both of them.
is this funny
