American transgender cheerleader Averie Chanel Medlock was expelled from a cheering camp after it was claimed she choked a teammate.
The Daily Mail claims that because her friend allegedly screamed transphobic slurs at Medlock, who was born a man, Medlock attacked her.
TEAMMATE ATTACKED BY TRANS CHEERLEADER
A 17-year-old teammate was allegedly abused by Averie Chanel Medlock when she was at a cheerleading camp at Ranger College in Texas.
According to reports, Medlock’s teammates barricaded themselves in a locker room to avoid her.
The 25-year-old described the experience in a since-deleted Facebook post, according to The Daily Mail.
“Well, gentlemen, as of last night at 05:30, I’ve officially retired as a cheerleader.
A teammate told me that I am a man with a penis and that guys shouldn’t play on the squad in a really insulting manner.
CHEERLEADING TEAMMATE’S FATHER WEIGHS IN
In a lengthy Facebook post, Mike Jones, the father of the 17-year-old cheerleader who was allegedly attacked, says his daughter called him at 01:00 after the ordeal.
“At no time did I ever say anything about your race or your gender, which is soon as the rest of the reports are done, those body cams on the officers will come in handy for us,” Jones said about Medlock.
