In Tualatin, Oregon, women’s rights activist and former collegiate champion swimmer Riley Gaines shared a video on Thursday that shows a transgender biological male student violently attacking a much smaller girl at school. Shockingly, instead of intervening to assist the victim, fellow students chose to film the assault.
This disturbing incident happened last week at Hazlebrook Middle School, situated in Tualatin, Oregon, a southwestern suburb of Portland.
The video shows the male student approaching the girl from behind and throwing her to the ground. He then proceeds to forcefully pull the girl around by her hair before landing several blows to her head and shoulders.
He can be heard saying “talk sh*t again, b*tch,” before smacking her one last time on the head and then walking away.
The young girl picks her purse up from the ground and slowly gets up. She faces a cell phone camera and says, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,” while crying.
Throughout this distressing incident, none of the students did anything to help the girl.
Watch:
Trans male attacks female student in Oregon high school. This was certainly planned given multiple people were filming. All involved should be suspended and he should be charged with assault as a male

Gaines revealed that the same male student previously attacked two other girls.
The school board definitely should be sued and hopefully these girls have big brothers.
The SAME student attacking two other girls at a middle school in Oregon. The school board should be sued into oblivion for failing to protect their students time and time again. Every single member of the @TigardTualSD is responsible.
