So they are actually trying to say that Nex Benedict's death was a fucking suicide. I feel like I could rip the world apart. I knew they'd pull some shit like this, but I still hate that they did.

“This article contains descriptions of fatal violence against a nonbinary person.
River Nevaeh Goddard, a nonbinary 17-year-old, was found dead in their boyfriend’s house earlier this month. Goddard’s boyfriend, 20-year-old Shane Curry, was charged in connection with their death after telling police that he had stabbed them with a sword. According to Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents, Goddard was nonbinary and used she and they pronouns.
On April 3, 2024, police were called to Curry’s home in Stow, Massachusetts for a well-being check, per a press release from Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office obtained by local outlet MassLive. Although Curry stopped officers from coming inside the home for nearly two hours, when police finally entered, they found Goddard dead inside and arrested Curry, taking him to a local hospital for evaluation. Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents reports that the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children had listed them as a missing child since April 2022, when Goddard was 15.”
Note: As a result of the antiblack racism that often gets perpetuated in these circumstances by my fellow white lgbt+ people, I am going to explicitly ask that you do not use “rest in power” in the notes of this post. The phrase is Black-exclusive for very clear reasons, and this should not have to be continually explained. Nor should it be the sole responsibility of Black lgbt+ people to point this out while also mourning the deaths in our community themselves. Do not turn this into an opportunity to further hurt people.

a poem for transgender day of remembrance
I have grey hairs on the side of my head. Not everyone I know gets them this early. But with my experiences, I can say I’ve lived.
20 is so old but 20 is so young.
And many of my siblings will never get the chance to flourish. To grow grey hairs, that is. Or even to grow old.
I don’t know my expiration date, but I am blessed to have lived this long.
Me, my brothers, my sisters, my siblings— They want us all gone. Eradicated, whatever word you choose. They want us gone.
Don’t forget about me when I’m gone.
Keep our stories alive. No, scratch that—keep us alive.
We are not scary and we don’t want to harm your children.
Some of us are children, were children, and will continue to be children.
I want to have a full head of grey hair, and a partner to sit beside me in a withered rocking chair.
We are not going anywhere.
I have grey hairs on the side of my head. And today, I remember the loved and dead.

Hey everyone my family could really use the help. Benji was my sister’s service dog. He is now my mom’s service dog that is helping her cope after we lost my sister Hope suddenly this spring. She was a 21 year old trans girl. Any little bit would help. Please help us afford his life saving surgery. Any little bit helps. please share.

Trigger warning: femicide, rape, transpobia, small description of dead body
It's ironic that for the Panhellenic exams the essay topic was "feminism" and in less than two months two women in Greece have been murdered
One of them, Anastazja (age 27), was probably raped and then murdered. She came from Poland to Greece to work for the summer and her body was found naked close to a lake.
I saw a man on the TV saying she had an "escort app" on her phone, as if this gives men the right to rape and murder her
The murderer was Googling shit like "how to get rid of bodies" and I think he cut/or burned her fingers so they couldn't recognize her. The authorities also found some fucked up shit on his history related to rape- porn.
I dont know much on Anna's (age 46) case but I know she was murdered cause she existed. She came in Greece from Cuba to live free and was murdered cause she was a trans woman. She was found murdered in her apartment. She was wounded probably by a knife
Also since she was found dead, she has mostly been misgendered in media as "man found dead" etc
Also since I mentioned the exams at the beginning, I should add that someone who murdered his wife some years ago was also giving those same exams
Her name was Caroline (age 20) and she was murder by her husband "who was a pilot and a good guy" in their home. She also had a newborn daughter at the time. He planned the whole thing to look like a robbery, even tied himself up and all

This fundraiser for a murdered trans man - https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-help-the-muscat-family does not have enough support. The story of this loss is found here — https://www.them.us/story/trans-man-ray-muscat-killed-by-girlfriend-in-michigan I realize this is 1) from 2022 and 2) a complicated situation for the trans community given the nature of the murder but having read about it only recently while researching the murders trans men I feel like this one got swept under the rug and the family must still be suffering badly RAY MUSCAT 🕯
this does seem to be a legit fundraiser from what I can tell so I'm sharing it but in the future please don't send me anything about trans people being murdered unprompted. I know you mean well but it's incredibly upsetting

Brianna Ghey, a 16 year old trans girl, was murdered by two teenagers in the UK on Saturday. Rhetoric has impact. The anti trans bills passed in the last five or so years in the UK and the garbage that JK Rowling and her supports spew did this. Have fun with your stupid fucking game and your nostalgic feelings about what house you are, I will absolutely be judging you for publicly supporting someone who is okay with harming trans youth and trans adults. It's the same hatred I have for MAGA supporters in my own country when hate crimes were on the rise under Trump, and it's the same hate I have for DeSantis's anti-gay sentiments in a state where Pulse happened under his governance. Are they the ones holding the guns and knives? No. Are they the ones making it so easy for these acts to be thought about, planned out, and committed? Absolutely. Fuck you Harry Potter fans that support her and her franchise even after knowing who she is, fuck you Trump supporters still supporting him even after knowing who he is, fuck you DeSantis supporters for thinking he's a good choice even after knowing who he is.

these past weeks and months it's been getting increasingly difficult to hope that one day i'll be able to get out of here, and the urges to just end it now have gotten to the point that it's all i think about, but eden's suicide made me realise that we can't just do that because then they'd win and it'd be worse and wrose for those of us that will come.
hear death crushed the grain of hope in humanity i had left, but also made me more rageful than ever and rage is about the only thing that's keeping me alive right now
you will not be forgotten, eden!

I really hope this reaches more people, I'm only reposting this information from Instagram, the least that I can do. (Update: I changed their upbringing as it appears to have been listed wrong) Wiki page
When I just saw this information I couldn't stop crying thinking about it, and now my heart aches. They were the same age as me, I know for a fact like any other teen they dreamt of their future, who they would want to become, what to achieve, create, wondering if they meet those in the future they can call friends, wondeting if it'll get better when they grow up, maybe wished to leave that terrible place or maybe wanted to stay. How could anyone let this happen, why were they discharged from hospital so easily? And the school, we all know why. I hate to think about how, even with all the progress made, these things still happen.
"murdered schoolgirl Brianna Ghey on February 16, 2023. Candlelit vigils are being held across the UK this week for Brianna Ghey, 16, who was stabbed at Linear Park in Culcheth, Cheshire last Saturday. Brianna was a transgender girl and police are now investigating her killing as a hate crime. A boy and girl, both 15, have been charged with her murder"
An article that explains trans hate crime murders as on 2023
I hate everyone who have ever committed such vile hate crimes, I wish them in prison and hell. But i would never go down to their level. But I also blame the government, the school, and even those bigoted online accounts that teach their followers hate. In this case LibsOfTikTok, who targeted the teacher of this school, who supports lgbtq+, so they had to leave their position. It must have been the push for this to happen. I think their tiktok account has been thankfully deleten. But i have no idea about Twitter or any other. Please check and mass report them if it still exists. (Link to Instagram reel that this information is from)
ADDITION, PLEASE MASS REPORT THESE ACCOUNTS

Hey, your blog is pretty big so could you please help spread awareness for Jacob Williamson? He was murdered (hate crimed) last summer, but there's only like 15 posts about him on here. He was a trans man, he was 18, and he died before he could start hrt or even consider surgery.
Tumblr media
Read more about him here
This is unfortunately the first time I've heard of this case as well. Unfortunately, a lot of crimes against our community are often kept quiet and are swept under the rug.
I didn't see an update on whether the people who murdered him were brought to justice or if they were kept for questioning, but nevertheless, it really feels like there can be no justice in cases like this.
RIP Jacob Williamson.

Righteous Torrence “Chevy” Hill, A black trans man, was murdered on February 29, 2024 in Atlanta. I’ve seen very few people reporting on this, other than a few small local news sites and queer news sites, please don’t let his murder be overlooked.

“This article contains discussion of fatal violence against a Black transgender person.
Tee Arnold, a Black transgender man also known to his friends and family as Lagend Billions, was shot in Hallandale Beach, Florida on April 3. Arnold died from his injuries in HCA Florida Aventura Hospital on April 7. He was 36 years old.
According to ABC affiliate WPLG, Arnold was shot near a shopping complex at around 1:30 a.m., and was transported to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital in critical condition. He died four days later. Police told WPLG that they do not believe the shooting was a hate crime, but rather an ‘isolated incident,’ adding they had identified a woman who knew Arnold as one suspect. In a Facebook post on the night of April 1, just over 24 hours before the shooting, Arnold wrote that someone had placed ‘a reward on [his] head’ and said they wanted to kill him.
Arnold attended Miami Central Senior High School and went on to study at Florida Memorial University, a Baptist and historically Black university (HBCU), according to his social media profiles. In social media posts reviewed by Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents (PLC), friends and family mourned Arnold’s ‘greatness, laughter, and good energy,’ recalling his compassion and willingness to help during difficult times.”
Rest in power Tee Arnold.

Say their name.
CW AND TW: CHILD DEATH
Say.
Tumblr media
Their.
Tumblr media
Name.
Tumblr media
Nex Benedict was a indigenous trans nonbinary teenager. Their head was beaten against the floor in a bathroom stall. Less than 24 hours later, they died, most likely from undiagnosed head trauma. Conservatives say they want to, "protect the children", where was the protection for Nex? That's the thing. There wasn't any. Nex died. And many more trans, queer, and nonbinary minors will if we don't step up and do something. What happened to Nex has and will happen to queer folk around the globe. Say their name.
Edit: I didn't expect this to get much attention, but thank you everyone. What alot of people, "forget" to mention was that Nex was two spirited, which means they were indigenous. The fact that I wouldn't have heard about this if I didn't have Tumblr is absolutely revolting. News needs to be covering this. But what are Republicans doing? Sucking their thumbs and crying about how, "trans people shouldn't be able to piss". What are Democrats doing? Twiddling their thumbs and groveling to an old geezer that somehow falls up the stairs and supports I$r3@l. It's disgusting and America needs to do better.
Edit 2: Any and all hate/saying that Nex Benedict wasn't murdered (they were) will immediately get deleted, just because you don't like trans people doesn't mean you can be an whiny little bitch. A child was murdered. This has nothing to do with politics, a child was murdered.
