Rosie Sandri, a transgender teacher at Red Oak High School in Texas, resigned after receiving backlash from the right-wing group Libs of TikTok. Sandri, who began her transition seven months prior, had used TikTok to educate others about being transgender. A video in which she discussed her students’ acceptance of her pronouns was reshared by the group, leading to a wave of negative comments. Sandri expressed feeling heartbroken for having to leave her position after being misgendered and deadnamed by the social media account, which garners millions of followers and support.
"They call me 'ma'am'. They call me 'miss,' said Sandri. 'They use my correct pronouns and know my correct name, and it's incredible affirming.'"},{
