Rightwingers tried to stir outrage over trans teen winning homecoming queen. They failed miserably.

At Oak Park High School in Kansas City over the weekend, students elected a trans homecoming queen. Tristan Young bested four other nominees to take the crown.

And Libs of TikTok’s Chaya Raichik managed to find the only two parents who are mad about it.

A girl possibly saw a trans girl in the bathroom, leading to a walkout. Greene was elated that students were protesting against equal rights.

“I’m appalled by NKC Schools’ continued support of the LGBT agenda,” whines one parent for Raichik in an email, referring to the North Kansas City School District.

“They not only indoctrinate children, but they are placing certain student populations over others.”

In another stilted statement from a second aggrieved parent, she writes: “As a woman, it breaks my heart to see these girls get passed over and a man stealing what is rightfully theirs.”

Then she adds, also as a woman, “I’m broken-hearted because I know the students voted for him.”

Raichik was clearly desperate to gin up the usual outrage over the student-led vote and failed miserably.

The queer-addled activist, who’s lately tried to refashion herself as an “independent journalist,” posted the “story” with a headline declaring, “Male crowned homecoming queen, beating out four other girls,” which clarified for trans supporters everywhere that Young is just one of the girls.

“Not the point but Chaya is writing at a sub-middle school level, lol” posted one amused commenter.

NKC Schools shared their congratulations for Young in a tweet with photos from the event.

In one, last year’s winner passes the sash to the new homecoming queen. In another, Young’s parents stand by beaming; her dad sports a Kansas City Chiefs Pride hat.

Young’s election in the revered high school ritual was met with a sense of betrayal by online hacks dismayed that a reliably red state like Missouri could harbor open-minded kids.

“Who’s to blame here?” whined transphobic 5th place finisher Riley Gaines, who tied with trans swimmer Lia Thomas in a collegiate meet last year.

Gaines tried sarcasm to make her poorly conceived point in on X: “So stunning & brave🤴🏻✨ Another reminder to all girls that men make the best women. I wonder if a female will win homecoming king or if it’s understood that both of these spots are reserved for males.”

The best reactions to the news of Young’s election were reserved for her supporters.

“Trans women have a biological advantage in being popular with their high school classmates now,” posted Media Matters’ Ari Drennen.

“Isn’t the Homecoming Queen usually elected by the students? Why does Chaya Raichik hate democracy?” @nikicaga asked.
