A trans girl at Osseo Senior High in Minnesota was ostracized and mistreated by administration, abused, and kicked out of school for using the girls bathroom.
News of this event was reported on twitter and then here by the Daily Dot.
Make no mistake. This is plainly child abuse and gender oppression. This is a disgusting and reprehensible thing to do to any individual but especially a child. These people must be stopped.
The website of the school where this happened, linked here (https://schools.district279.org/osh/), describes the school as an inclusive space on a page titled Osseo Listens!. The claim that this is an inclusive space is a lie. There is no such thing as an inclusive space where children are abused due to their gender identity. Call them on this, if they are really listening. Quoted below from the Osseo Listens page.
We want to hear from YOU! We believe a successful school is an inclusive school. Osseo Listens creates space for the essential voices of our community to join in fellowship and feedback via multiple modalities to provide insight and guidance around our practices at Osseo Senior High.

To whom it may concern:
I am sending this letter as a result of my disappointment and disgust at your abuse of a student merely because of their gender identity. It is wildly inappropriate for an adult to go into a closed bathroom stall while a child is using it, especially in an effort to perpetuate fascist violence upon them. We demand that you end the involved staff members employment as a matter of safety. Hate will not win.
