Fox News
A California student who slammed her former high school's transgender bathroom policy revealed the backlash she received after her passionate remarks.
"Surprisingly, a lot of people at my school have not really recognized me. I have had two students come up to me and say that, 'Hey, you really spoke out on behalf of women. We're proud of you. You go,'" Simpkins said during "America's Newsroom" Wednesday. Bailee Hill is an associate editor with Fox News Digital. Story ideas can be sent to bailee.hill@fox.com
"But on a personal level… I have received a lot more hate, a lot more criticism," she continued. "I've been called a white supremacist. I've been called a bigot... transphobic… If apparently telling the truth that a male will always be a male and a female will always be a female, and therefore you are supposed to be going to either a male or female space, then I guess I am a transphobe. Then I guess I am a bigot. Because if that is how you see me, then I cannot change how you view me and how you view the truth."
