They committed suicide; do not elide the fact that the primary reason for their harassment was that they identified as non-binary.
Edit: A child post has provided reasonable evidence that I'm mistaken about Near preferring singular-they pronouns; "he" is likely fine. Apologies for the mistake. I will leave the original body of the post as I still think it's worthwhile to remember why Near was targeted for such harassment.
- llmblockchain 2y agoAs far as I'm aware, he went by he/him/they/them and accepted all of them.
- clipsy 2y agoThat's not my understanding, but I'm happy to admit a mistake and amend my post if you have a source.
- llmblockchain 2y agoFrom someone close with Near/Byuu: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27665789 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27665789 I also believe marcan (another friend of Near's) commented something similar, but I can't seem to find it (I think it was on Twitter). Near's spouse referred to Near via "he/him/his" in all of the police/consulate correspondence in the FOIA, so it seemed alright to me.
- flykespice 2y agoYeah my bad, fixed it.
