Dex Frier, a senior at Johnson High School in Gainesville, Georgia, claims school officials removed him from this year’s prom king ballot because he is transgender and told him to enter as a prom queen nominee instead.“I’m requesting that my identity be respected and included,” Frier, 17, told NBC News. “I want to bring awareness to the fact that removing me from the king ballot and giving me the option to run as queen shouldn’t have been the way to fix this situation.
“They probably voted for him because he’s amazingly talented, extremely diverse in many things, very engaging, very opinionated and smart. I believe that the group he associates with see value in that,” she said. “But perhaps, they are also trying to make a statement: ‘Let’s be loving and kind and inclusive,’ which is what one of the school mottos is. The administration removing him from the ballot is not a representation of that whatsoever.
Lisa Frier said this is not the first time school officials have discriminated against her family because of gender identity or sexual orientation.
