Statement from President Joe Biden on Nex Benedict
The White House ^ | 3-14-24 | Joe Biden

Posted on 03/14/2024 12:18:37 PM PDT by artichokegrower

Jill and I are heartbroken by the recent loss of Nex Benedict. Every young person deserves to have the fundamental right and freedom to be who they are, and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities. Nex Benedict, a kid who just wanted to be accepted, should still be here with us today.

Nonbinary and transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know. But nobody should have to be brave just to be themselves. In memory of Nex, we must all recommit to our work to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis impacting too many nonbinary and transgender children. Bullying is hurtful and cruel, and no one should face the bullying that Nex did. Parents and schools must take reports of bullying seriously. My prayers are with Nex’s family, friends, and all who loved them – and to all LGBTQI+ Americans for whom this tragedy feels so personal, know this: I will always have your back.

To LGBTQI+ young people across the country – you are loved exactly as you are. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or alone, you can call or text 988, the National Crisis Hotline, and dial the number ‘3’ to talk to a counselor who has been specifically trained to support LGBTQI+ youth.

That kid was a freak. Freaks often have a tough time in middle schools and high schools.

Is “Nex” this whatever’s name, or is it one of those pronoun things?

Her father renounced parental rights and is in prison. Her mother gave her to her own mother, Nex’s grandmother. Looking at her picture, I’m pretty sure she was never a “he.”

Her name was Dagney. “Nex” was her “non-binary” name.

The same government that removed native-american children from their homes in order to be educated in the white man’s schools, is the same government today that wants to remove children from their homes so they can change their gender on a whim.

Does that graph show that 3 out of every 4 trannies has attempted suicide?

It was a SHE, not a he, and from what I can glean, Dad wouldn’t have been a good example.

Sorry. Now I understand.

A whopping 40% of trannies have attempted suicide.

Omfg.

And this child fits the narrative that the only reason they want to kill themselves is because they are bullied.

“Nearly 14% of adolescents reported a previous suicide attempt; disparities by gender identity in suicide attempts were found. Female to male adolescents reported the highest rate of attempted suicide (50.8%), followed by adolescents who identified as not exclusively male or female (41.8%), male to female adolescents (29.9%), questioning adolescents (27.9%), female adolescents (17.6%), and male adolescents (9.8%). Identifying as nonheterosexual exacerbated the risk for all adolescents except for those who did not exclusively identify as male or female (ie, nonbinary). For transgender adolescents, no other sociodemographic characteristic was associated with suicide attempts.”

“Intersex” - whatever that means...

Have said it before many times and I'll say it again:

America has turned into a Kurt Vonnegut story.

No- poopy pants demented joey bags— transgenders are misnamed they have not transited their actual gender. They are, in fact, mentally disordered individuals who think they can force the vast majority of hetero and yes even homo- sexuals to view them as something other than what they biologically developed to be.

Mentally ill, and therefore unqualified for surgical removal of secondary sex characteristics (since they can NEVER remove their genetic codes for their actual gender) by definition. They think this will answer their screwed up problems- and when it doesn’t typically all the time— they then have a very high rate of suicide in their delusional despair. The surgeons who do all this “work” have a LOT to answer for, clinically, ethically and legally.

“What is the I ?”

You better learn it quick because if you misgender somebody you could be banned and canceled for life.

Clearly written by woke white House puppeteers of Joe, using AI.
