Jill and I are really sad about the loss of Nex Benedict . Every young person should have the right to be themselves and feel safe and supported at school and in their communities . Nex just wanted to be accepted and should still be here today . Nonbinary and transgender people are some of the bravest Americans I know , but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves . Let ' s honor Nex by working to end discrimination and address the suicide crisis affecting nonbinary and transgender children . Bullying is never okay , and we need to take it seriously . My thoughts are with Nex ' s loved ones and all LGBTQI+ Americans . Remember , you are loved just as you are . If you need support , you can call or text the National Crisis Hotline at 988 and press ' 3 ' to talk to a counselor trained to help LGBTQI+ youth .
