So because some of the supposed just joking and the bigotry behind it leads to attacks or murder for some of us.

Those that don't want to listen or be educated need

it to be made more clear to them, maybe by seeing Benedict chucked out

and then it can be talked about on bit on the side etc why that was necessary.

IE Because some don't want to listen or be educated

and we need to make it clear that what most see as just joking has bigotry behind it and Trans people have been attacked and murdered.

...I don't know exactly what happened with Benedict as far as I'm aware no one has seen it but I will assume it was said/done as a joke and whilst I'm not saying that's ok I also think Benedict is not of the 'hate' category of people you are referring to..he is intelligent and imo it would be better for him to stay in the house so that Luke can help with that...
..as you say not enough people are educated on transexuality but that doesn't mean they are bigoted either and Luke being in the house and talking about himself and his life will help educate the HM's as well as the public so they realise it's not something to be joked about....
...yes I agree that some people 'hate'..anything or anyone they think of as different or that they don't understand in an way and they will never be educated...but I don't think Benedict falls into that category which imo means he shouldn't be thrown out..I just don't think that will do anything positive at all
