"Your policies are dangerous and rooted in sexism. Boys are reading erotica in the classrooms next to girls, and you want to give them access to girls’ locker rooms, and you want to force girls to call those boys ‘she’."

Spot on.

Courageous young woman, her parents should be filled with pride.

She articulated her points very succinctly, not a word wasted. Her courage is humbling.

A very impressive performance, this is what future female politicians and leaders should look like.

She's great. She doesn't look very old, that must have taken huge courage.

I hope the adults were listening.

14 years old and braver than every single one of the adults who should have said NO bit didn't.

Shame on them!

What an inspirational and brave young woman. Her anger was palpable, but she was so eloquent and direct. I would love to be half as brave as she is

Me too. It really is time to be braver today than I was yesterday.

I've taken strength from this wee girl and I've just posted the RESPECT song on my Facebook!

My head is going above the parapet!

Thanks for the link. Will send her a card. Not much but something to know she's not alone.

That is what you see? A bigot?

Girls to have no opinions about boys in their changing rooms?
