Head bans transgender pupil from exam… so she shows him Equality Act
Good for her for standing up for her rights! Boo to the school for being petty and making her write her exams at the back of the room.

Torment … Ashlyn Parram has been spat at and punchedswnsPublished: Today at 00:00A TRANSGENDER pupil had to show her headmaster a copy of the Equality Act before he allowed her to sit a GCSE exam while wearing girls’ clothes.
Ashlyn Parram, 16, turned up for her first examination in tights, skirt and blazer — but was told by teachers to go home and change into the boys’ school uniform.
The furious teen printed off a copy of the law on sex discrimination, which includes specific legislation on the treatment of transgenders and transsexuals, and marched it straight to head Chris Wall’s office.
He admitted he could not ban Ashlyn — but teachers made her sit away from other pupils at the back of the sports hall at Giles Academy in Boston, Lincs.
Ashlyn — who used to be called Lewis — said: “I have never felt so bad about myself.
“It’s sad people can’t be more open-minded. I’ve lost a lot of friends because of everything I’ve been through. I really didn’t need to lose the support of my teachers.”
Ashlyn has lived openly as a girl at home for two years — but had toned down her appearance at school to avoid abuse. She had been spat at and hit in the street.
Her mum Miranda Johnson says Ashlyn — who was officially diagnosed with gender dysphoria — is a girl born in a boy’s body.

If only more people took her example. But typical school officials not respecting their students at all.

Does her “old name” need to be stated for the world to see, so that we all know just how trans she really is and so it’s...
