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.

Is a president retard going to open another suicide hotline for the gender confused?
She doesn't matter and has to be airbrushed out of the history, along with the fact that Nex started the hostilities.
She OD’ed on antihistamines.
She unfortunately, killed herself.
Joe Biden is the biggest bully of them all. The left’s irony detection is non existent.
It’s not just Biden.
Go onto any social media and see how people treat each other.
The anonymous aspect of the internet has made the world nasty. Combined with ignorance, tribalism, and close mindedness, the discourse is horrifying.
You don’t have to leave FR to see that.
The kid was a girl-female, and her father is in prison-has no parental rights-mother was not able to raise a kid, gave kid to grandma, who apparently wasn’t either. The girl was suffering from mental illness and was encouraged in her delusions by adults who should know better, but it appears that no one cared enough to get her into a psych facility/therapy before it was too late. Not all bad things are the fault of a father-negligence by other family members who don’t want to believe a kid is mentally ill is just as damaging-denial i not just a river in Egypt.
Laken Riley. Ashley Babbitt. Say their names.
You are welcome-my 1st thought after reading that family did not want to see that the girl had serious mental issues was that God will heal and keep her safe now.
Confused mentally I’ll person
