You could argue that maturation never ends since we are perpetually aging. Usually one thinks of puberty as the development of secondary sex characteristics.

No, that's not entirely true. Most cis women are fully developed at around 18.
Woah that's terrifying. Fuck this guy
Hell, I used to feel terrified to shop in the men's section. Now it feels like second nature.
Too relatable...
Nah. Most of them are plenty tall for the average person. The problem with American stalls is that there are always large cracks in the door that you can see though in case of a fire or other emergency. You can see people walk by while pooping and someone could theoretically look through the crack to watch you poop.
Nex used he/him and they/them pronouns.

I know all too well about these kinds of situations. My first thought when this story broke out in the news was "this could have been me." I'm from a state in the deep south with similar politics, and I know how easily local politics can get corrupted. I was a baby trans in a shitty, transphobic school system too. There are good people and people who care and want to help who are from there I'm sure, but the system has been built from the ground up to enforce the status quo.
I hope that there will be justice for Nex Benedict. If not now, then someday when things change for the better. In the meantime, we have to fight to get there and hold people accountable for their actions.
I really hope that Nex will get justice and that there will be an independent investigation into this because this is a load of bullshit.
Do they think we're stupid? Even if the cause of death was suicide (which we don't know for sure, because the autopsy is shady AF.) it's a known fact that getting a concussion can make people suicidal. Either way, the girls who attacked him are responsible for his death. Pouring water on someone does not justify killing them.
Those are some anime-level villain shenanigans right there
Any theories about why someone would wanna do that kind of spam? Are they trying to discourage open sign ups?
In addition, the posts that it's targeting seem completely randomized.
Yeah that's true, and puberty's been starting earlier and earlier for AFABs in the past decade or two. If it's starting earlier then it's easy to assume it's ending earlier too. The average age for puberty to start is 10, and the average duration of puberty is five to six years. 25 is not a normal number to still be physically maturing at for AFABs. Not saying it's not possible, but it's definitely not the norm. 10-16 is a more accurate number for the majority.
To clarify, when I say physically maturing I mean the development of secondary sex characteristics, which is what puberty is typically associated with.
