This is the first time a child has ever been bullied by their peers. Truly newsworthy. Thanks

This is what GOP’s insanely cruel anti-trans laws do to these poor kids. As if they don’t have enough trauma in their life to deal with…the mean-spirited laws only make ‘em more of a target. +Sports thing is absurd. Kids play sports for fun & friends. It’s not pro sports. ffs

Maybe you should’ve got this poor boy mental health help instead of appeasing the disorder

That's because 'school' (short circuit hole) is where the boys reverse her current and she bleeds 40 years. The fact 10% are infected by pregnancy before their 13 year sentence is complete and 100% bleed for 40 years by the age of 10, IS ENOUGH REASON FOR ALL GIRL SCHOOLS.

I’ll never understand people who take issue with others for just trying to live their lives in a way that makes them happier. Her choice to live her life this way has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t affect or concern you. Don’t selfishly make it about you. Live and let live.

The fucked up thing is that in many Republican states, the laws on the books are so hateful that LGBT kids can’t even go to a school counselor or teacher to report their bullying for fear of being outed to their parents. Your vote matters, folks.

Methinks they learned that at home..

How come we cannot all just be kind to one another? What is so hard about focusing on your life while accepting everyone lives different lives and deserves their freedom to be themselves? Be kind. It is not hard.

Why?

so sad :(

Cowards with hoods attack a much smaller child... nothing will happen more than a slap on the wrist.

Hey school! Here's how you respond to that bully: quickly, concisely, and to the full extent that the law would allow if it happened out on the street somewhere -- JAIL! NOT: 'boys will be boys', not JUST detention, suspension, or a 'good talking to'. ➡️JAIL.

That it just so sad humanity is so small

Not slammed, tripped. This is what you get when you want to indulge yourself. No common sense.

Ronilj261 Wow...can't a human being be a human being? Not in Florida it seems!

All this,$it is a result of having a potus for the last 4 years that has made bad behavior honorable,if that's possible and hate the norm. America needs JESUS.

No excuse! This is a human being! 🤦‍♀️🤬😡 Stop the hate.....please!

I guess DJT's imprint on our country will be w/us for awhile. 😪😪😪

That's what wrong with this country of ours, it's filled with bullies who are scared of others not like themselves.

I feel like shit happens to many kids trans or not. Bullying is wrong and kids are mean but it is a fact of life. It should not happen to anyone. This is not a trans hate issue

I am not for Under age Trans humans at all,I also know those same Humans Have God in their Hearts and hurting another Human in this way is Evil to ones Heart.Change Will Come...🙏

This is what happens when government normalizes marginalization and discrimination of trans folks.

I didn't REALLY have to check, but I did anyway. Yup, a red state. Florida. The worst of the worst.

That boy sweet 😂

Even non trans people get beat up

This is so ridiculous you are just trying to proof that other students were guilty I'm in high school and know 1person is not responsible for this type of fights...

Wonder why this isn’t a head line trending story?🤔

no violence cos it has no justification in law

NBC, rule 1 for transgender stories... for the rest of us simple folks, can you tell us if this is a girl who wants to be a boy, a boy who wants to be a girl, etc? Context here is everything. Without explaining which direction this is going, it's harder to understand reactions.

😣 they just want to record something they can post to worldstar 😞don’t like how this generation thinks sad

Florida, Texas.. they gave no regard for human life.

I will admit, I feel zero regret in wanting the same done to the one that did this. Fuck them.

This video and the fact that there are 13 year old trans kids is sickening

Had he been normal and been attacked you wouldn’t care.

School kids are never going to change... somebody is always going to be bullied... especially when our elected leaders do it on a regular basis..

What is wrong with people?!?

Unfortunately, trans or not. Shit like that happens in our schools every day. Too many failing parents that should have been sterilized long ago.

It's the Harris/Biden America!

That’s so inhuman! We may not agree with transgendering but we must respect people!

🙏🏽

It's just not right. Personally I could care less about what ppl want to do with their lives as long as it doesn't interfere with mine. However, it is just wrong to harm ppl for what they believe in doing.
