Woke Dems have lied about transgender suicide — but there is hope
By Social Links for Miranda Devine

When nonbinary teen Nex Benedict committed suicide a day after allegedly being beaten up at school, the tragedy was quickly hijacked as a textbook case of anti-LGBT bullying.
The president and the first lady weighed in with a “heartbroken” White House statement.
“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 … 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 … No one should face the bullying that Nex did.”
Hatemongering Nancy Pelosi went further: “The anti-trans fervor fueled by extreme Republicans across the country is having deadly consequences for our children,” posted the former House speaker.
“We must stand up against anti-trans hate.”
The New Republic was just one media outlet that blamed the death on conservatives: “Oklahoma Republicans Passed a Bathroom Bill. Now a Trans Kid Is Dead.”
