Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
You have heard the story of Nex (Dagny) Benedict, a young girl transitioning to male being bullied in her Oklahoma school. The original story was that three girls attacked her in the girls lavatory, smashed her head into the ground, she sustained injuries, was taken to the hospital, released, and died the next day. There was instant blaming and then "story enhancements" associated with a school that allegedly didn't support LGBTQ++ trans kids, who had created the potential for this attack by requiring kids to use the restroom aligned with their biological gender, and that the school refused to call for an ambulance despite the girl's inability to even walk following the "attack," etc.
The media and victim enablers (AKA LGBTQ++ support groups) quickly glommed onto the terror of being bullied by intolerant transphobes. Candlelight vigils were held nationwide in support. Presidentish Joe Biden and Dr. Jill issued a statement in support of Nex Benedict and all LGBTQ++ people who deserve safe spaces and acceptance.
Subsequently, more details came out on the story. It turns out for this incident at least, Nex was not being bullied, she instigated the fight by throwing water on the girls because she felt they were mocking her. She had never previously met those girls, so this wasn't a consistent pattern of abuse building up over time, it was Nex lashing out in hypervigilant defense* (more on this theory later).
It also was documented that Nex had suicidal thoughts, expressed to those in attendance during her brief stay at the hospital.
An autopsy later confirmed that Dagney (Nex) committed suicide.
This incident at the school is not the abuse referenced in the post title. That first abuse of Nex started years earlier. Her father was raping and abusing her for years, presumably beginning when she was kindergarten age or earlier. He was convicted and sentenced to 5 years in jail when she was 9. One of the conditions of his release after 5 years was that he never have contact with his daughter, and register as a convicted sex offender.
He was released from prison in December and arrested again for failure to register as a sex offender 2 weeks before Dagny committed suicide.
Dagny and her family would have been very aware of the release date of her father, the man who among other things, anally raped her for years. She may have been aware that he violated his order to register as a sex offender, and knew he was still out on the streets.
The history of abuse, along with the new information about her attacker's release and additional violations would create a hypervigilant sense of panic in the young girl. This easily could explain her instigating the fight with the three girls in this state of hypervigilance. Well, you have learned about the first instance of abuse from the post title. Her degenerate dad. An evil man abusing his extremely young daughter.
What is the second instance of abuse?
First let us look at the fragile psyche of a young girl repeatedly abused for years by one who should have been an absolute source of trust and protection, her Dad. How does one cope with trauma like that? One option, make your self invulnerable to further rape. Solution: Transition to a boy. The second abuse is every single counselor, psychologist, guardian and educator who supported this solution abuse instead of addressing the root cause trauma.
These are the modern day Mengele strutting their defective evil "health care" abuse to troubled minors.
They deserve to be in jail just like the abusive dad.

Uhhh...
"Transitioning" to a "boy" would not prevent anal rape.

In the mind of an abused young girl, plans are not as logical and rational as they might seem to you. The lovely Dr psychologist Mrs Nohaaj, states that young girls who are abused often transition as a means of coping. Where she and i disagree is with her modest defense of the professionals who support those transitions. She further commented that good, competent trauma therapists are fairy rare. It is easier to go with the current social flow of transitioning, than working thru the root cause trauma.

In her mind, she wanted to be less feminine to be less attractive to her abuser. Rational for a powerless child. That guy should be put under the prison.
One quibble, she was never "transitioning to a male", since that is not possible.

That Guy, aka her abusive Dad was put in prison, albeit briefly.
The people who supported her transition defense strategy, instead of offering support to deal with the trauma, should also suffer the same fate.
