WATCH: Brave High School Girl Destroys Trans Ideology, Receives Roaring Applause
A California high school senior delivered a passionate speech against a school policy that permitted a transgender student from using the women’s restroom and led to a physical altercation.
Megan Simpkins, a student at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, called video of the confrontation “infuriating” and asked, “Why are we affirming the mental confusion of this boy and putting the safety of women in jeopardy by allowing mentally confused men to use the women’s spaces?” A crowd behind Simpkins applauded her at a board meeting of the Riverside Unified School District.
“Of course, any male who claims he is a woman will accept it, but what about the women? What about the true girls like myself, who are female down to our DNA? Why don’t we ever get a say in whether or not we are comfortable with this? The truth is, we aren’t. The majority of us aren’t, and yet nothing has been done to protect the safety of these women. I will conclude with this: it all starts with you. You are in charge of the safety of us and the women and the kids of our parents, so please do something about it,” said Simpkins.

According to media reports, the transgender student assaulted two smaller women in the restroom. Viral video showed the trans student lifting one of the women and pushing her into a table. As the confrontation escalated, the trans student began throwing punches at the woman and another who came to her defense. Families and students told a Fox affiliate that the trans student has a history of erratic and violent behavior.
“He’s [in the] girls’ locker room, using girls’ restrooms,” said MLK student Aiden Vermeir said of the transgender student. “He spit on my friends that are girls, females. He shows his genitals in the locker room.”
In a statement, Riverside Unified School District said the trans student has been permanently removed from the school.
