Late for Nex—but hella necessary for all the terrified trans and NB kids in OK. (And elsewhere.)

Oklahoma’s appointing an anti-trans TikTok celebrity who encourages hatred, violence & fear isn’t new. There’s a long list of people & atrocities committed by Okies. Their self proclamation of being the “buckle of the Bible Belt” highlights the religious zealots systematically destroying anyone who doesn’t meet their guidelines of a “good, right and moral “Christian”. Oklahoma is just as evil as Texas. Not Ok, OK.

The attached letters make my heart SING!!! If this is the way to stop the bullying going on of our larger Community, I'm going to start making complaints like there's no tomorrow. If the enemy wishes to bring up Title IX, so will we. Brilliance. May Nex's memory be a revolutionary blessing.

I hope you haven't said this already, but I'm questioning who you're talking about in the sentence ending with, "whose posts were followed by threats to a teacher in Nex’s school district who he admired." Is that talking about Nex? If so, Nex was not a 'he' but a 'they'. Right?

Batten down the hatches my friends. We're in for a rough ride. 😔
