Very sad situation.

    What makes you think they preferred he/him pronouns? I’ve seen most sources state they used they/them. Did you know them personally or what are your sources?

      During the vigil in Owasso, some participants used masculine pronouns when referring to Benedict, and some friends later told NBC News that Benedict used he/him pronouns primarily and also used they/them pronouns.[57][58] At the Owasso vigil, one participating friend said, “I want to start off by saying that Nex was transgender, and he used he/him pronouns” and “He was so much more than his transness.”[58]

        Ah, fair enough. I kept seeing they/them pretty exclusively which seemed supported by the mention of 2 Spirits, but you know, ‘journalism’.
