Student Hounded From School In Transgender Row

[naomi24]

JK Rowling has condemned as 'utterly shameful' the treatment of pupil, 18, who claims she was hounded out of her private school after challenging the 'trans ideology' of the visiting speaker, a female member of the House of Lords described as a 'well known activist'. The pupil, 18, told The Times: 'The language she was using was implying critical theory took precedence over biological reality in defining women.'

When the student returned to the sixth form she was surrounded by up to 60 girls who screamed, swore and spat at her, leading to her being unable to breathe properly and collapsing, it is claimed.

Teachers supported the teenager at first but abandoned her after other pupils accused her of transphobia, according to the report. She returned to school on several occasions but was told she would be sent to work in the library if she said anything provocative in lessons, and was repeatedly bullied.

She eventually left in September.

Rowling waded into the row today, tweeting: 'Utterly shameful. Add this to the tottering pile of evidence that people in education and academia who're supposed to have a duty of care towards the young have succumbed to an outbreak of quasi-religious fanaticism. The girl's crime? Saying ''sex exists''.

It's the new Nazism, one dare not question the prescribed mandatory view on any given subject. What is ironic the bullies that enforce this doctrine don't see that they are in fact becoming those they claim to to despise.

Schoolgirls are real bitches aint they!

[ToraToraTora]

dave this is worse that that, it's like religious zealots of the past labelling anyone who doesn't hold the correct view as heretics. Disgusting.

[ToraToraTora]

The whole TG thing has taken on a religious fervour where those that dare even to question it are labelled heretics and not that long ago would have been burned at the stake. Like religion it has no basis in science and demands total adherence to the prescribed believe on pain of societally sanctioned bullying. As I said, disgusting.

Just another ism.

They all end in tears for someone.

... or as savages, or as PROB, or as Anti-English, or as MAABOF, or as morons, etc etc.

...or as 5C, etc.

The difference is that Tora does not surround his opponents with a mob of braying lunatics, shouting and spitting at them simply on the basis that they have a different opinion.

NJ; Schoolgirls, as mentioned above, can be pretty nasty.

I would like to hear the above version of events from the 60 girls.

Khandro; You've got a very vivid imagination!

Thank you! I'm flattered.
Though it should be 'through' the institutions

Possibly a little mischievous, but I'm waiting to see how I'm referenced on an online application I recently completed for something.

I answered "Other" under a whole list of genders, as they didn't have Male - all they had was Cis Male.

I do find it concerning that having an opinion that sex is immutable and a biological fact, can now bring about condemnation and make somebody a pariah. It seems to me it's now becoming that you can have your own opinion, but only if your opinion is the "correct" opinion.

the "up to" 60, Sqad. Estimating the size of a crowd can be quite tricky.

//all the had was cis male//

Potty! Most people wouldn’t have a clue what it means anyway. If the cranks who come up with this utter stupidity like labels they should stick to sticking them on themselves and leave the rest of us out of their madness. Good for you for your response.

[naomi24]

Jno, I guess they know how many are in the form.

[jno]

I'm sure it was "up to" 60, naomi. However...

[naomi24]

Pardon?
