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.”

It is easy to scoff at obvious nonsense like trans ideology. But what is it doing to the young? Do they believe it?
And why is a peer pushing these dangerous ideas? Are we really so far gone as a country? We cannot survive if people like that are in positions of authority.
It is collective madness, similar to the “dancing” outbreaks of the Middle Ages.
It may be madness but there is method in’t.
The Billionaire Elites have seeded this madness and for twenty years funded the extremists who are now allowed to push it down our throats.
An investigation into al the malevolent funding operations of George Soros is long overdue.
The objective is the taking down of Europe and the ‘West’ and it seems to be progressing very nicely.
At 64 years old now, I barely give a hoot.
The boomer generation paid for WW2, a fact easily forgotten.
Our children will pay for our mistakes, and their children, theirs.
What we also easily forget is that we share in our parents successes. Ten year old children didn’t invent mobile phones, adults did. Ten year olds didn’t invent CAT scanners, cars or even bicycles, adults did all that.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s time for my kids to take responsibility for their own futures now. I have given them a direction, and I’m here to help, but god forbid they blame me or my generation for our failures, they would have nothing were it not for our successes.
Most people are herd animals, they will accept whatever they perceive as being the accepted position of the herd.
The young believe it because it has been indoctrinated in them in schools. My teenagers have been exposed to the messaging in school, but countered by my scientific explanations, plus we homeschooled until they were 9 or 10 which helps as most of their character traits develop through home rather than outside influence.
Children, however, tend to believe what other children tell them, and they go through a stage where they all love a drama. My teenagers get round it by not getting into too deep a discussion with me, to avoid disrespecting the views of their friends, but I am reasonably confident they are grounded in reality. There’s a girl that wants to be a boy in the local school, which helps the government narrative along, as it then gets expanded by personal connections amongst the children. Of course, every year group will have the attention seekers, the drama llamas, and the virtue signallers, as well as children with upsetting home situations, all competing with each other for sympathy and understanding as young folk do, so it all forms an echo chamber.
Some of the friends have expressed concern that I might be arrested for my views….which can be a whole new discussion on rights and free speech. I have, however, attempted to condense A level biology of reproduction, from the cell level up, into a few minutes with some of their friends. If people are ignorant, they do not question, but after a short course in biology and chromosomes there was a flicker of understanding…. Of course, the vast majority of school children do not go on to even take gcse biology, let alone A level, so they are doomed to live in a fairy tale of scientific untruth dictated by government edict.
J K Rowling would have done better to support her in getting legal advice to take action against those who spat at her, doesn’t it amount to common assault? I’m sure the school would love to have their name hauled through the courts for such behaviour, or perhaps they could stand up for all pupils to have the right to be treated with respect.
Does anyone know which school this is?
Nothing like publicity to bring some honest self-reflection into the thoughts of the management and teaching staff.
Question. Why have the media refused to name & shame the school ?
Will they be introducing “Ducking Stools” in the school for those accused of “transphobia”??
It seems the other pupils showed a degree of paranoia that overtook Salem in 1690s Pennsylvania that ended in lynchings & it seems the trans terrorists in the UK are as near to lynchings as our ineffectual police will allow them
We need to know the name of the school. Where is Ofsted? The school failed in its duty of acre towards the victim – it should be closed down.
Who was the Baroness?
Where is Ofsted? Dancing in the Schwab-Gates Elite Magic Circle with Ofcom and the rest of the Ruling Elites and Deep State crazy fantasists all those who have planned and supported everything that is now going so very wrong with our country!
Absolutely. Duty of care clearly breached. Certainly a Civil case there. Quite possibly a criminal case for assault. Maybe a criminal record would unwoke some of these Zombies.
No Police, no Courts, no Judges – all of them on the “narrative”.
All riddled from top to bottom with Common Purpose graduates.
There are two kinds of human beings in this world: individuals capable of independent, critical thought; and herd animals. The majority are herd animals unfortunately and the former must endure their incessant demands to conform. The duty of the latter is to resist those calls and advance humanity.
This woman is not only an independent, critical thinker but courageous with it. To do what she did at the age of 18, when the pressure to conform is even greater than it is as an adult, is worthy of everyone’s respect. I only hope she finds even greater strength from what she has been through.
As for the school, it ought to be named and shamed.
Hear, hear!
Hear, hear.
FWIW, I don’t think this is happening in Russia and China.
Russia now believes the West is completely insane and ruled by madmen and senile old sociopaths – no wonder they are looking to protect themselves from the crazies of Davos who have taken over and are ruining our world.
Putin is fully bought into the control grid of the populace via social passes. It’s just on US expansionism that he differs. If you look at the list of politicos & others in positions of power, the whole world is infested with these WEF lackeys.
Russia would be quite right in its jaundiced view of almost every other government.
Experiment House?
This comes neatly under the category of “What the hell are we doing to our children these days?” They are literally being indoctrinated into acquiescing to culture wars and identity politics. If I were the un-zombified in Sean of the Dead I could relate!
Destroying them and their future!
The Davos Kool Aid has poisoned the minds of our politicians!
How wrong this is.
Poor girl! What a state of abject chaos now rages through our morality! How can our Government tolerate and tacitly encourage this outrage?
Meanwhile ‘they’ launch monkeypox on us as planned almost to the day. by the Gates WHO. The West really is being taken down by its own Governments into total moral disintegration.
A Medic warns that use of an unauthorised Smallpox vax against Monkeypox could bring on a global smallpox epidemic!
As usual, the crackpot Johnson Government is leading the insanity against the people – following brain sick Biden into the abyss!
How many of us – old, young, men, women and children- are they really trying to get rid of?
All manipulated by pcr, I don’t doubt. Chicken pox, shingles rash, heat bumps and razor rash will probably all get positive results. You couldn’t make it up…..hang on, they just did…..
And if they really have sprayed the pox on the population, the vaxxed are in deep doodoo with depleted immune systems.
So is the pox in the Chem Trails then?
I was thinking more of a local release in nightclubs, travel hubs or similar.
PCR proved a fake for nearly two years now – yet still they get away with ramping up the magnification cycles from 25 to 45 without a whimper from the Craven Media – the people are still saturated with lies coming straight from Downing street!
The Chinese and WEF stooge and fraud Drosten who modelled and devised the scam still walks free in Germany!
Even worse they plan to use PCR fraud again to advance their carefully modelled and planned Monkey pox pandemic .
How man y times will the sheep allow themselves to be fooled? (Answer: They are sheep …so every time.)
In the land of the blind, the criminals are hiding in plain sight!
It’s a fad. It’s hurting some people but, like all fad’s, it will fizzle out.
The blue touchpaper was lit some time ago.
Another fad.
Given the amount of publicity already, why is the name of the school such a big secret?
Private schools pay for good lawyers to prevent bad publicity.
Tell us the name so we can shout our support for their lunacy Oops! courageous stand for transwhatanythingery.
There’s nothing like everyone laughing at them to induce a bit of reality into things.
I have great empathy for this girl. It must have been terrifying to be surrounded by your so-called ‘class-mates’.
Here in Thailand the sex that is determined at birth stays with you on all I.D. documents for life. No matter if there is been a complete sex change.
Forgot to add I wish her well in her studies and future career.
I am still waiting to see proof of anyone undergoing a “complete sex change”. I keep asking how they manage to transform X chromosomes into Y, or vice versa, in a living body. Because I don’t know how the hell you could do it in any other way. But answer comes there none.
Not just in Thailand, in any part of the sane world!
The West is suffering from engineered mass psychosis, being used as a weapon against the people’s sanity.
I would find the Mail’s story more credible if we had the name of the school.
I think it’s interesting that it’s a private school. It indicates the path the top 10% of society is already on that their children should react in that way to questioning of the official dogma.
My child goes to a top private school and he also has to suffer total masonic brainwashing including the covidian, Ukrainian and transgender cults.
Then you are wasting your money paying their fees. Wake up. Your child’s future wellbeing is at stake.
Have the Chinese bought the school yet ? It must be on their list!
In our local area a Primary school has a six year old girl who now idetifies as a boy.
In response the school declared all the toilets for her age group are now mixed sex use and the urinal was sealed off so no girls would see a male child’s penis.
All the boys still want to use the boys toilet and the girls the girls (apart from the one who is playing make believe) so the boys have to line up and wait to use the single trap in the boys toilet and lose much of their break time as they can’t use the urinal.
The cleaners and TAs are upset because the boys piss everywhere when trying to use the one trap.
I swear the world has gone mad, if someone says their child identifes as spiderman will they fix a toilet bowl tothe ceiling?
The adults involved should be signed off with mental illness.
It would be a very long list.
WTF, every school year group has their own toilets?
The End Times really are on the way!
It seems that the very basis if Human reproduction and the nurturing of the young is under attack – if this insanity continues we ( at least European man) will be extinct in 120 years!
It begins to look as if this is actually the real aim of some of the deranged, sociopathic and hate-filled beings who have taken over the world!
“The urinal was sealed off so no girls would see a male child’s penis.”
But if the school believes the child in question really has become a boy, then according to their own mindset, no “girl” will see a male child’s penis, will they?
Oh sorry, that thought probably resembles something logical, which is also no doubt banned at the school.
“Trans people don’t have basic human rights”. Really? Which ones don’t they have? The Human Right Act 1998 has codified these basic rights, so there’s a handy pick-list…
Johnson sis busy getting rid of the Human Rights act anyway it gets in the way of his friend Gate’s plans for the world.
I thought these schools were against bullying.
It is like when they ignore safeguarding when giving experimental untested jabs to their children for an illness that kills no children.
No such thing as a left-wing bully.
Not when it is encouraged by the curriculum they are forced to follow.
They are against bullying, against bullying of bullies.
Teachers are also being bullied at our schools now if they do not agree with this transgender nonsense. One teacher was reported to the headmaster by another for not addressing a pupil with the pronoun “them”.
The children that behave with such intolerance are simply abhorrent. Any teachers or parents that have encouraged it are even worse. The school should be closed. The children that behaved that way should be made to feel deeply ashamed. There needs to be very clear messages sent. But there won’t be because the authorities want it so. They want social and behavioural collapse.
Help me here.Firstly when did as many as 60 pupils ganging up on just one not raise concerns and clearly become an example social phobia. Secondly are there really at least 60 people in in the same school who can rouse this much anger together over such a pointless issue. I do not understand really. Would you not like to think your child or any child is being protected at whatever school they are at
