Transgender senior can't be HS homecoming king

[UrbScotty]

Some Mona Shores High School students say adminstrators stole the homecoming king throne from the rightful winner -- a transgender senior.

...

Some classmates believe the crown belongs to Oakleigh Reed -- who was born as Oakleigh Marie, but who now goes as Oakleigh Marshall, or Oak for short.

In fact, friends have started a Facebook page, titled, "Oak is My King."

"It's the senior class that votes for their representative," Reed said. "What they did was taking away the voice of the senior class."

They say that he can't be king because he is still listed as a female in the school's records.
