If you know anything about autism you know how ridiculous this story is.
A 10-year-old autistic Australian girl was suspended from school recently after encountering a trans-identifying boy in the girls' restroom and asking him to use the boys' room.
A two-day suspension for an autistic 10-year-old who, due to the way her brain is wired, simply told the truth to another student. That's what autistic kids do, they tell the truth. Everything that is true is true, and everything that is false is false. So when a boy walks into the girls' room, even if he's dressed like a girl, an autistic child is bound to make a deal out of it โ because it's extremely confusing.
Watch:
[Kensie] was very confused. This child stated to Kensie that she presents as a girl, but she was born a boy...and accessing the toilets, Kensie then said that you have boy parts and you need to use the boys toilets.
Pretty normal thing to say, especially on the autism spectrum. Again, truth is truth.
Here's how the school explains the offense which warranted the two-day suspension:
Behaving in a manner that posed a danger, whether actual, perceived or threatened, to the health, safety, or wellbeing of any person.
"Whether actual, perceived or threatened."
Yeah, we're gonna see a lot more of these cases out of Australia with that verbiage.
Kensie's mom tried her best to get the suspension dropped, you know, because Kensie has autism and has a hard time with these things, but the school denied the request.
So apparently the feelings of transgender students are more important than the mental health of the autistic student. And that should tell you all you need to know about where this world is headed.
