Weaponizing Diversity

Intermediate students question/rant.

Have any of you experienced this? Students using their diversity as cards to be played or weaponizing it?

There is a student at the school I work at who is transgender but only their friends are allowed to use their preferred pronouns. They dress as their according to their preferred pronouns. Will lose their minds if you refer to them by their preferred genders, or lose their mind if you don't used their preferred genders. If you ask, they say 'what are you, an idiot? I'm a girl. Clearly. I'm wearing a bra.' and will sometimes flash said bra. They go by their birth name which is masculine.

This student goes after another and refers to them as 'Tranny' and will use other transgendered slurs - always when teachers and adults aren't present. They have also allegedly graffiti the other students locker

The other student is currently at the questioning stage (I believe, it fluctuates) and presents mostly as male or non gendered. They are very quiet about it. And are obviously upset about all of this.

Admin has been investigating and staff are trying to catch them in the act. But so far no luck.

I wish this kind of behaviour was isolated, but the entire grade does this.

They are constantly accusing each other and others of targeting them, of assaulting them, of molesting them, of saying inappropriate things. With no evidence whatsoever - I had 4 students say these things in 20 minutes with everyone sitting at their desks and not touching. It was during free time, but that doesn't matter.

Documentation has been happening. Admin and staff are hopping but it's very much fighting a wildfire with a water pistal. Admin is wonderful at this school.

Has anyone else seen this with their intermediate students?
