🏳️‍⚧️ LET'S GET SOMETHING GOING: READ THE LETTER FROM TRANS YOUTH, SHARE THE GRAPHICS, GET THE MERCH! 🏳️‍⚧️

Our Youth Voices — amazing LGBTQ+ teens from all across the U.S. — wrote you a letter. The media, politicians, and school boards love to talk about them. So isn't it time we hear directly from them? Read it here.

This letter is in response to the more than 600 bills that were proposed at the state and federal level last year targeting LGBTQ+ people. It’s written for Nex Benedict, a nonbinary teen who is gone too soon because school officials failed them. And it’s written for trans youth around the world who are just trying to live their lives. 

If you agree that trans and queer youth deserve better than how they've been treated, you can...

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, so this is Nex Benedict. They were a 16-year old nonbinary student in Oklahoma. They were beaten to death in a school bathroom by three girls.

Nex survived the initial attack, but school officials did not call an ambulance. School officials did not call Nex's parents. Nex was forced to wait until the end of the school day, and when their parents finally learned of their injuries, they were taken to the hospital. They died at the hospital the next day. School officials did not punish the students who beat Nex to death.

This is what hand wringing and panicking and whatabouting about trans kids and sports and bathrooms does. This is what laws targeting trans and nonbinary people do. This was a child.
