14 DAY TRIAL // A transgender student being elected homecoming queen at a high school in Huntington Beach has been criticized and threatened on social media.
She responds to the backlash in a YouTube clip during which she is crying and questioning whether or not she should keep with the gender change.
16-year-old Cassidy Lynn Campbell was born Lance Campbell, Daily Dot writes. She was crowned on Friday but described being judged and bullied, on an offline, ever since.
“Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it, and if I should go back to being miserable and be a boy and hate myself and hate my life, just so everyone can just shut up and leave me alone,” she says while sobbing.
She has been discussing her gender issues on YouTube in a blog she has been keeping for the past two years. She also has a loyal Twitter following and she is getting a lot of support.
