Trans student in Oregon middle school brutally beats up female peer, video goes viral

The video of a trans student at Hazelbrook Middle School in the Tigard Tualatin School District in Oregon beating up a female peer in the corridor has gone viral.

Details about the incident are not immediately available except that the video is being increasingly shared by people on social media. In the video, the assaulting student, dressed in a green jacket and black jeans was seen yanking the hair of the female student, making her fall on the ground. She then dragged her on the ground by pulling on her hair and twisting it from left to right and back again.

Here is the video:

As the female student helplessly cries, the trans student hits her repeatedly. She finally lets her go only to hurl expletives at her before smacking her on the head. The visibly rattled female student gets up on her feet shivering from head to toe and in tears.

Many people who shared the video speculated that the trans student, who is a biological male, identifying as a woman, was operating in a gang as there seemed to be a number of students standing around the area where the assault took place with their camera phones out and recording the events as they happened.

The individuals involved in the incident have not been identified. Neither the school or the district has released any statement regarding the incident and there is no update as to whether the trans student was reprimanded for her actions.

While initially, people sharing the video mislabeled the incident as taking place in a high school, it has since been corrected as happening in Hazelbrook Middle School
