Wear body armor and a hard hat to school
This clip was doing the rounds yesterday. (Warning: it’s horrible.)
A transgender student of the male flavor, that is. Quite a strong male student by the looks of it.

This clip was doing the rounds yesterday. (Warning: it’s horrible.)
A transgender student of the male flavor, that is. Quite a strong male student by the looks of it.
Word is being passed that the boy is being warned about this behavior but that the girl is being disciplined for misgendering him. However, the evidence on X-Twitter provided is from a “Post-Millenial” article with no references nor citations. So, we don’t know that.
This boy needs to face serious repercussions for his actions or he will continue to escalate his violence.
Mike H, here’s a link to a report about the incident, with more details:

The “How do you know?” that’s stated in the video isn’t a question of course. It’s a threat to everyone who doesn’t meekly go along with being bullied.
J.A., thanks for the link.
The article is quite good. It appears that students knew this was going to happen and were prepared to record it, hence the existence of video. The article talks about people seeking immediate, harsh justice whenever they feel wronged, and they have no skills for resolving conflicts. Yes, good points.
This bit from The Oregonian article stood out for me:
I’m not sure some of them want justice as much as they want vengeance, or that they even know the difference. Hence the zero to 10.
The school’s statement seems written to imply the attacker is not trans while not actually saying that.
I’m not sure it matters that much, as that attack should be harshly punished whether the attacker is a girl or a boy.
It’s a good thing the victim had her backpack on, which prevented her head from hitting the floor.
While the Oregonian is a decent article, what we don’t know is whether the victim was disciplined for misgendering her attacker as many have
tweetedtweeted.The reason that kids don’t know how to resolve issues without resorting to violence is that as adults we are not setting a good example. Adults call for violent responses to slights, on TV, on social media and in movies. Kids get the message that violence is justified, and when adults don’t call out the threat of violence towards TERFs by transactivists kids like him probably think he can get away with this.
Which kind of incident, the violence kind or the people finding out kind?
Only a boy would do what that motherfucker did to her.
Just a guess, but perhaps the “Get your phones out so I can go viral when I beat up that little twerp” kind. I think it’s reasonable to assume that some of these attacks wouldn’t happen if they didn’t lead to social media gold for the attacker.
Mike B@8:
I’m afraid I’m going to have to call bullshit on this one. Girls are, in fact, quite capable of physical violence against one another.
When I was in high school (in, admittedly, one of the rougher south suburban schools of greater Chicagoland), I was in health class one day, where students were mostly sitting and doing their assignments; some would occasionally get up and talk to others and so on.
One girl then got up, reached into her purse, and pulled out a padlock. As she strolled casually up the aisle, she got to the girl at the front of her row, and suddenly spun her arm in a massive swing, bringing the ridged edge of the padlock’s dial into contact with the first girl’s forehead.
Scalp wounds, even ones that aren’t serious otherwise, bleed like crazy. This was no different. As the second girl leapt up, blood streaming down her face and staining her shirt like a cut scene from Carrie, she reached into her own purse and pulled out a switchblade, which she used to fend off her attacker.
As the teacher screamed ineffectively at the two girls to stop, the instigator shouted, several times, “I know what you been saying about me!” (I never did learn what all that was about.) Then she bolted from the room; the other girl fled a few seconds later. Cops were called, students interviewed, the teacher demonstrated absolutely no ability to control her classroom, and neither girl ever came back to class. This was in the mid 80s, BTW, so no possibility of ‘trans’ having anything to do with it.
So please, leave the “Fairer Sex” BS in the seventeenth century, where it belongs.
Now, that said, what I never, ever witnessed, was a girl attacking a boy in such a fashion, for fairly obvious reasons, but I’m reasonably certain that the reverse was not unheard of.
Oh, and while I agree the fashion choices indicate the attacker in this case was male with some degree of gender identity BS going on, I’m not going to swear to it on this brief a video.
