When instructors united with bullies to hound her out of school, the sixth-form student who dared to challenge trans ideology has warned that ‘there is no forgiveness for those branded transphobic,’ revealing that she self-harmed and relapsed into anorexia.
Last month, Britain’s ‘cancel culture’ crisis was brought to light after it was reported that an 18-year-old A-level student was labeled a ‘heretic’ for challenging pro-trans remarks made by a member of the House of Lords during a visit to the school.
After disputing her ideas with a peer during a questions-and-answers session at the private school in the Home Counties, the sixth-former was reportedly subjected to a verbal ‘pile-on’ by up to 60 students.
In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, the Baroness at the center of the controversy backed Kate’s right to free speech, joining other free speech proponents like as Tory minister Nadhim Zahawi and JK Rowling, who have also been chastised by trans campaigners.
For the first time, the student has spoken up about how the experience of being judged by both professors and students was so traumatic that she self-harmed on school grounds, was forced to sit alone in the library, and was eventually forced to drop out.
Giving Unherd’s Julie Bindel the name ‘Kate,’ the 18-year-old informed the feminist journalist that the school was influenced by the LGBT organization Stonewall, which operates a contentious diversity scheme for hundreds of British businesses and has fought for gender-neutral wording in legislation.
She reported confronting the visiting Baroness over what she saw as her ‘righteous denunciation of her peers as irredeemably transphobic.’
‘I respectfully disagree,’ Kate said she told the politician, prompting one of her peers to run out of the room crying.
Following that, the sixth-grader overheard numerous pupils discussing ‘transphobia,’ and was accused of encouraging trans children to consider suicide.
When she went to get her bag from the locker room, a group of kids surrounded her and allegedly spat on her face, calling her things such as “Nazi,” “fascist,” “transphobe,” “homophobe,” “racist,” and “c**t.”
Kate’s desk was covered in printouts of trans flags with the words “Trans rights are human rights” the next day. The next day, the other sixth-graders held a ‘Trans Day of Visibility,’ leaving her out, ostensibly to embarrass her or teach her a lesson.
