16-Year Old Trans Girl Detained By Police for Not Attending School That Misgendered Her

[SpankMe]

Trans teen declines to attend high school because they misgendered her and used her dead name.

Police raid her home and detain her for truancy, threatening to put her in "other" foster care.

There's a lot missing from this story. But...https://www.thegamer.com/twitch-livestream-trans-girl-police-foster-care-school-viowynn-keffals/

Her Twitch channel is here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1477652656

For example, she streams on Twitch from home, but says she thinks foster care is OK, and foster care has been really accepting. I don't understand why someone with a "home" is also in foster care. She says her father was told by the cops to cut off her internet while she was streaming on Twitch. Then they went in her rom and "detained" her.

I don't know if this is a pattern of trans harassment to "make a point" or if this is a one-off.

1. So apparently home for the weekend and streaming.

Tennessee requires school attendance until age 18. If parents can’t/won’t send her to school she may have been placed in care in an effort to get her to go to school.

2. Maybe some good news...

Update 19:45 BST: Wynn has since gone live on Twitch, having returned home for the weekend.

4. Transfer her to a school which is more tolerant and loving.
