I do not know what to make of this story. The Post story frames it as horribly transphobic boys "stormed" the girls bathroom, blocked the girl from exiting, and the girl was initially expelled for defending herself. Replies on her sister's Twitter account suggest that the boys disseminated information about the protest ahead of time, and so the girl knew about the protest beforehand and vocalized an intent to assault any male who entered. https://twitter.com/savannahmoisan/status/1116817585389989890

So many people are cheering on the girl for defending herself against the boys, but I bet they will not be so supportive when the males who are entering the bathroom ID as female. How much of the support for the girl is simply because people perceive her to be standing against "transphobia"?
