JK Rowling today condemned the 'utterly shameful' treatment of a sixth form pupil who claims she was hounded out of her private school after challenging the 'trans ideology' of a visiting speaker.
The teenager was treated 'like a heretic' for questioning the female member of the House of Lords' arguments during a PSHE talk about transphobia in Parliament, one of her teachers said.
The pair parted amicably, but when she returned to the sixth form she was surrounded by up to 60 girls who screamed, swore and spat at her, leading to her being unable to breathe properly and collapsing, it is claimed.
