Rosie Sandri, a transgender teacher at Red Oak High School in Texas, resigned on the Trans Day of Visibility after facing a brutal online harassment campaign from far-right influencers. The harassment began after her post about student affirmation was misrepresented on social media by Libs of TikTok, leading to death threats and hateful messages. Politicians, including Texas Rep. Brian Harrison and U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, further vilified her, calling for her dismissal and using derogatory terms. This incident highlights ongoing attacks on LGBTQ+ individuals by extremist groups.
Rosie Sandri, a transgender woman who taught English at Red Oak High School south of Dallas for three years, resigned Monday - on Trans Day of Visibility - after being inundated with death threats, hate mail, and violent rhetoric.
The post was stripped of context and reframed to incite outrage. The account deadnamed and misgendered Sandri to its millions of followers and asked, 'Would you feel comfortable with this person teaching your kid?'
Republican Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison called for Sandri's immediate firing and later boasted that he had helped 'deliver this victory.'
Some commenters labeled her a predator. Others mocked her appearance and compared her to an animal.
