A private school sixth form pupil says she was hounded out of her school for insisting biological sex was real while challenging the 'trans ideology' of a visiting speaker.
The teenager was treated 'like a heretic' for questioning the female member of the House of Lords' arguments during a PSHE talk about transphobia in Parliament, one of her teachers said.
The pair parted amicably, but when she returned to the sixth form she was surrounded by up to 60 girls who screamed, swore and spat at her, leading to her being unable to breathe properly and collapsing, it is claimed.

The pupil, 18, told The Times: 'The language she was using was implying critical theory took precedence over biological reality in defining women.'
She added: 'When I questioned that, she said it wasn't an issue of semantics. She said trans people don't have basic human rights in this country. Afterwards I spoke to her and said I'm sorry if I came across as rude.'
Teachers supported the teenager at first but abandoned her after other pupils accused her of transphobia, according to the report.
She returned to school on several occasions but was told she would be sent to work in the library if she said anything provocative in lessons, and was repeatedly bullied.
She eventually left in September.
