No, not at all. The boy is not trans. I’m saying it looks transphobic to say a boy who raped a girl is a trans boy who raped a girl
If you are going to engage in the 'trans debate' you may wish to avoid being seen as transphobic by using the term "trans boy" for a transgender male.
A "trans boy" is the term used for females.
when there doesn’t seem to be any evidence for this at all, apart from wearing a skirt which was just one little part of him being seriously disturbed.
Your not a true trans argument fails to align with the fact that the school treated the male as being trans.
The mother claims to reject the schools assessment of the male as being trans after being informed of the sexual assault. The school have additional liability issues if the male was allowed access to a single sex female only space so accepting the mother's claim may be rather financially expedient.
The school management was involved in a political battle to allow mixed sex facilities. The fact that children in their care were using the single sex bathrooms for sexual encounters should have been evidence enough that providing free access to mixed sex bathrooms for all children was in and of it's self a safeguarding concern. The campaign continued which the senior management claimed that the sexual assault of a male on a female in a single sex bathroom was not a "trans issue" / did not happen, which was a politicaly expedient claim.
As for what mother claimed who wants her child to end up as the bathroom rapist poster child. She was also aware her child faced a justice system which has the politically elected chief prosecuter show up to convict the parent who was arrested for objecting to how his raped child was being treated by the school.
(no, I don’t think a male wearing a skirt makes him a psychopath, just as I don’t think a male wearing a skirt makes him trans. This boy clearly has serious issues)
Per Stonewall definitions your statement is transphobic as cross-dressing falls within the trans umbrella.
