A sixth form pupil who was forced out of her private school after challenging the ‘trans ideology’ of a visiting speaker has spoken publicly about her ordeal for the first time, thanking J.K. Rowling for her support after other pupils “made me think I was mad”. MailOnline has more.
The 18-year-old teenager was treated “like a heretic” for questioning a female member of the House of Lords’ arguments during a PSHE talk about transphobia in Parliament, one of her teachers said.
The pair parted amicably, but when she 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 was claimed.
On Tuesday, J.K. Rowling waded into the row, 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’.”
Following support from the author, the teenager told the Times that she is grateful the “important” issue is being discussed, but fears the “sensationalisation” created by Ms. Rowling’s input.
The student told the paper that she has been mischaracterised online as “expressing ingrained prejudice” but was questioning the baroness in a “measured” way.
“It made me think I was mad. Otherwise how could people turn on me so bitterly?,” she said.
The student said that during the question and answer session, the baroness “was implying critical theory took precedence over biological reality in defining women”. She said that on questioning the baroness, she was told that “trans people don’t have basic human rights” in Britain. After the session, the student said she apologised to the baroness if she came across as ‘rude’ in her questioning.
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 before completing her A-Levels, which she is now studying for at home.
A teacher at the school told the website Transgender Trend: “We know how these views are being silenced in the adult world through high-profile legal cases and the bullying of celebrities such as J.K. Rowling. This is also happening in schools.”

Andrew Doyle presented a very fair analysis of the Cass report on GB news last night. The biggest victims are the children. The second biggest group of victims have been gay people, especially lesbians who have been criticised by Stonewall for not accepting men who now identify as women into lesbian only groups.
The fear is that children who would go on to be gay are being forced to ‘change’ their sex instead and this is supported by Stonewall who were originally started to support gay people.
Yes, quite. It’s like a form of gay conversion for the older kids. Many who ‘trans’ are same-sex attracted anyway but because the whole ideology opposes homo/heterosexuality and instills confusion to vulnerable young minds, by this warped logic it is deemed better to be trans, and on they go on their pathway to royally screwing up their health and lives. The greatest shame, in my opinion, is the fact that parents are also swept up in this madness and actively encourage younger kids and teens through this whole shitshow. It’s within the parents’ power to make or break this entire process. I can understand young kids and vulnerable people, such as mentally ill or autistic people, being more easily brainwashed but the parents too?? I’m a parent and it’s like these people are a species from a different planet.
And as for the adults, ( predominantly men ) it’s like the meme says; ”So let me get this straight. You hate women but you want to become one?” Make it make sense.
My fear, as always, is the 6% of the population who are sexually attracted to children. We have fought this group out of the Church, Care homes, Schools, Sports and Social groups and the Overseas charities and many went to live abroad.
By making Trans yet another subject which cannot be questioned we enable this group to get closer to the vulnerable children to harm them. Based on a population of 80million this would be 6 million people.
I think this explains the fight back against Cass and the use of outside charities and other groups to infiltrate the schools and to go for the very young.
I can’t resist the temptation to leaven what is a very serious subject by an image that springs to mind whenever I read about this topic. 40 years or so ago, I saw, scrawled on a public urinal wall, ‘My mother made me a homosexual’. Under it in totally different handwriting was written ‘If I buy her the wool, will she make me one?’

Thanks for posting.
No problem, some people don’t seem to appreciate it though LOL.
Stonewall should have its charitable status removed, all public funding stopped and proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
I’ve cancelled my monthly direct debit to this organisation as of this morning. I’ll put extra items in the local food bank boxes instead.
Just seen an advert asking for donations to the RNLI. The only people to fund them now are surely just the woke left and the ignorant.
I hope this is true, but my sceptical mind wonders how they could find enough volunteers to work FOC to operate the taxis 24/7 not to mention the cost of fuel and maintenance.
I used to regularly donate to them – over several years – but cancelled my support a couple of years ago. I’ve better things to spend my money on.
