In West Virginia, a high school administrator is under fire for allegedly bullying a transgender student who used the boys’ bathroom. Fifteen-year-old sophomore Michael Critchfield, who identifies as male, says he was cornered in an otherwise empty boys’ bathroom at Liberty High School by Assistant Principal Lee Livengood, who challenged him to use a urinal to prove that he was a boy, before saying, “Not going to lie. You freak me out.” The superintendent of Harrison County Schools has said Livengood acted “inappropriately” and “was insensitive” during the encounter. The ACLU warns that over 50 percent of trans male teens attempt suicide during their teenage years.
