After reportedly choking a female teammate, a transgender cheerleader has been issued a criminal citation and expelled from a cheerleading camp in Texas.
“Well, guys, I’m officially retired as a cheerleader as of last night at 5:30 a.m. A girl on the team was being very disrespectful and told me I am a MAN with a PENIS and that [guys] should not be on the team,” the cheerleader, Averie Chanel Medlock, wrote on Facebook. “I stood up for myself, and she called her mom and dad because she was scared because I [stood] up for myself. Her father said, ‘she still has testosterone and a penis, and I will kill anyone who comes after my daughter.'”
According to other team members’ Facebook posts, the incident happened at Ranger College, where police were called to settle a dispute amongst team members.
“I ask you what you would have done when receiving a phone call at 1 a.m. from your daughter stating they had locked themselves in the room with other girls,” the father, Mike Jones, wrote on Facebook. “At no time did I ever say anything about your race or your gender.”
