Oklahoma’s public schools chief has blasted “radical leftists” for exploiting the death 16-year-old nonbinary student Nex Benedict — while stating that he does not believe anyone is really transgender or nonbinary.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters spoke out after many online continue to suggest the student’s death is linked to a fight in a school bathroom a day earlier, despite police and school officials saying Benedict’s death appears unrelated.
“I think it’s terrible that we’ve had some radical leftists who decided to run with a political agenda and try to weave a narrative that hasn’t been true,” Walters told told The New York Times.
“You’ve taken a tragedy, and you’ve had some folks try to exploit it for political gain.”

They are being coy about the cause of death. I wonder why?

There are 11 types of people:
Those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who think that they know more than others about binary and "nonbinary" but are totally clueless.

Of course it is.
They politicize everything they can while condemning the right when they think the right is politicizing it, IOW, when the right speaks up and exposes their narrative or hypocrisy.

The officer who responded can be heard in the hospital video explaining that Benedict started the altercation by throwing the water and the court would view it as a mutual fight. A little tidbit buried in the last sentence of the article.

KJP began her presser with this lie on Friday. Not one word about Laken in Georgia.

So I tried to find out what happened to this mentally ill young person by reading a NYT article, below.
All of this they, them, us, we pronoun nonsense when talking about one person is so confusing. I’m just too old to follow all of this garbage!

This, like thousands of other “hoax crimes” is being exploited with lies and half-truths. Not even their sainted Matthew Shepard was killed “because he was gay.” He was killed for drug money by a sometimes-gay lover.
What do you want to bet this girl died due to clot-shot complications exacerbated by unnatural puberty blockers?

YouTube had video from an OK TV station showing the girl walking unassisted into the school office and the interview the police had with her in the hospital. During the interview she was smiling, composed, and articulate. She admitted to starting the fight by throwing water on girls in the restroom who were laughing—she assumed at her.
They also played the mother/grandmother’s (?) phone call to 911 the next day when the girl was dying. The caller seemed strangely calm as she described her daughter’s/granddaughter’s convulsions.
