This kid's newspaper is used for lesson plans in schools. I approve of doing whatever the fuck it takes to stop schools teaching shit like this, including deploying the libel laws.

Having a newspaper say you're an evil transphobe is one thing - having teachers teach schoolchildren all over the country about how you're just like an anti-Semite or a rapist - fuck no, I don't blame anyone for putting the kibosh on that even though I do agree the libel laws are too powerful. But this shit simply should not be taught in schools and I don't know if she had any other legal recourse than libel to stop it.
