    I hope Principle Shue becomes way more than just "uncomfortable" dealing with the backlash for his transphobic decision to humiliate the poor guy. For a Trans* guy to build up the courage to run for King and having that happen has to be mortifying. :frowning2:

    That's horrible. It's so sad that this bullshit still goes on.

    I'm glad that in Australia this societal hierarchy of bullshit doesn't go on as much as it seems to in America. Such as the whole 'prom king/queen' shit which only promotes segregation between students and more power to the popular kids and creates favoritism.

    I feel terrible for him though. He's got a lot of guts to even run for it, and yet this sort of oppression occurs. Shame on that principal for their transphobic acts.
