A trans teacher at a Texas high school has resigned after becoming the target of conservative backlash and online attacks.
Rosie Sandri came out as a trans woman about seven months ago. Her colleagues at Red Oak high school and the Red Oak independent school district were very supportive, she recalled to NBC News.
Sandri posted videos speaking about her life as a trans woman and teacher on TikTok. Last week, the rightwing social media account Libs of TikTok posted one of Sandri’s TikTok videos.
“When I first saw the Libs of TikTok post, I was bitterly unsurprised. I know what they have done to other trans teachers in the past,” Sandri told the Guardian.
