Yes, the whole story is full of sloppy reporting.RZehr wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 10:00 pmThe original title in the OP link, referred to the person as “Trans”. But I see now that the title has been changed on that news article.Ken wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:54 pm But I don't think there was any reporting suggesting this person was trans or transitioning unless I missed it. As I understand it, "nonbinary" means you have decided that you don't fit in either gender category. But it does not mean you are trans or trying to transition from one gender to the other
I see that the article now says:
“Editor's note: This story has been updated. It contains descriptions of violence against a nonbinary person.”

Re: Trans student killed in school
I see that just like her parents, I used the wrong term - non-binary, not binary. I got the impression from her parent's apology for using her "deadname" and the "wrong" pronouns, that this latest identification was rather new. Owasso sure is a different place than back when I was in school there. Back then "the latest thing" was about ten years late. Antiwar protests? The Sixties missed that in Owasso. Try the Seventies, around 73 - 74, my senior year. (Yeah, this is 50 years. They are having a reunion, but it's a long ways from here, and it's also at a casino. They can have those if they are run by a tribal authority. This will be in Skiatook, Osage Nation.)Ken wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:54 pmI read the story and couldn't figure out if this child was a biological male or female. But apparently at some point this person decided they were nonbinary which is kind of the "none of the above" category and different from trans. So was not using either male or female pronouns.
But I don't think there was any reporting suggesting this person was trans or transitioning unless I missed it.

Re: Trans student killed in school
This isn't some coastal liberal thing. The schools I taught at in Waco TX from 2007 to 2016 run by 100% Republican school boards were basically the same. There were plenty of gay kids, a few trans kids, kids with two moms, etc. etc. They accommodated things about the same has they do here in Western Washington today. Even there in the epicenter of the Southern Baptist world and what they called the "buckle of the Bible belt".Neto wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 10:04 pmI see that just like her parents, I used the wrong term - non-binary, not binary.

Re: Trans student killed in school
I would consider the Mainstream media ardent supporters of the LGBTIA movement, so much that they violate the rules of English grammar to please their sensibilities.Ken wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:40 pmWell, the LGBT "movement' didn't publish and circulate the story, the traditional media did. And they didn't decide to drop any follow up. Again, the traditional media did. LGBT activists can stir up a storm on twitter and respond to interviews. But they don't control the media. The media does. So I think your blame is misplaced. Once the traditional media discovered the story wasn't what they thought, they moved on to the next thing and it became yesterday's news.Judas Maccabeus wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:26 pmHow rapidly the LGBTIA movement and it’s allies made a big issue of how they “demand answers” and how quickly they fall silent when it does not fit the preferred narrative.
Kind of like the Nashville School Shooter. When will we ever see that manifesto?
As for Nashville? Whatever information is released or not released with respect to that case is entirely the purview of the Nashville Police Department, Tennessee State Police, and state AG office. Not "LGBT Activists"
Not to mention their wholesale support of the whole “Gender Ideology ” thing. The media dances to their tune, because they are largely afraid of being called bigots.

Pretty much one and the same. Just like the right wing movement is one and the same with right wing media.

Not unlike the Matthew Shepard case. Exploited to the max.
i’m convinced Nickel Mines leadership did the right thing. Do not allow media/political exploitation. Tell them NO.
It’s inhumane to shove mics+cameras in people’s faces when they must be in a state of acute shock.
i wish it were unthinkable.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Re: Trans student killed in school
No they are not one and the same. Not even remotely so. Regardless of what you seem to think. We live in a straight world in which the media by far promotes the dominant straight world and LGBT people along with their activist types are nothing but a minor curiosity.RZehr wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 10:18 amUnimportant distinction between the two words in this case - movement and media.Ken wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:40 pm

You really think this story would have been promoted as it was if it hadn't been for the initial implications that this student was attacked and killed because of their gender identity?Ken wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 10:43 pmNo they are not one and the same.

Re: Trans student killed in school
Yes, I don't think it would have drawn any national attention at all if conservatives had not made anti-LGBT policies and rhetoric the latest culture war issue in Oklahoma and elsewhere. That is the only reason anyone is paying any attention to the dismal state of education in Oklahoma.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 12:35 amYou really think this story would have been promoted as it was if it hadn't been for the initial implications that this student was attacked and killed because of their gender identity?Ken wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 10:43 pmNo they are not one and the same.

And we still don't know what happened. They are now reporting that the death was due to other causes. But no one is denying that an attack took place.
