A police spokesman said previous statements that Nex Benedict didn’t die as a result of “trauma” didn’t rule out the fight as a contributing factor.

So the cops in previous statements were being purposefully misleading to help push the narrative that Nex died by suicide. That was obvious, but will this be enough to combat the bad faith misinformation being spread all over the fucking place?
No. The misinformation has already done it’s damage and can’t truly be reversed. People who only looked at this in passing got their headline and are likely to pack this memory away as they first saw it. The others, well, even if there was no misinfo, they would have pretty much gone with a victim blaming narrative anyway, because they just hate them.
The only hope now is that the correct story is what ends up being used by the authorities and anything to do with the case in regards to the legal industry.
I’m not quite sure why they think her dying by suicide because of the fight is any better.
Please edit the pronouns in this comment to avoid removal. I can see it’s an honest mistake, but it still needs to be corrected.
Done. (Sorry, I was out and about.)
Nex preferred they/them, iirc?
As was shown to me… from the linked article:

Wow calling me a transphobe for not misgendering someone is new…
Them, technically, as they were non-binary. Which I should have said.
You, however, thought I was talking about a trans woman and don’t understand that trans women are women.
You’re right, it shouldn’t be any better. But to them it just confirms their belief that LGBTQ people are “mentally ill” and they can blame the suicide on their “lifestyle.” Ugh.
They like when we kill ourselves. I don’t remember what the number is, but they’ll meme the percentage.
