Geelong Grammar: Dad pulls his daughter out of $84,000-a-year private school attended by King Charles after discovering she was boarding with a transgender student

Well, duh. What did they think would happen?

People who can afford that kind of school can also afford a school that won't strip their daughters of all privacy and dignity and expose them to a high risk of rape and impregnation. If you want your daughter to end up pregnant as teenager, you can get that for free. No need to pay 84,000 for the privilege.

I am more surprised that not more girls were pulled - or do they have only two girls per room?

I wonder how much the parents aren't saying. There are vague mentions of "support" for the TiM kid, but also "concerns" that they weren't told. I'm guessing they're terrified of getting the JKR treatment.

Yeah. They're willing to go along with the TWAW mantra, but they aren't okay with their daughter being the human sacrifice to the pervy male, is what I read out of that.

Perhaps a bit cynical, but I think they would have been okay with the whole thing if they'd been quietly told in advance, and had gotten the opportunity to quietly arrange for their daughter to room with actual girls.

I wonder how accommodating the school would have been, and if the TiM kid's parents would have been upset if he were made to room alone.

They’re also upper class which is rife with trans kids. Most of their social circles probably have they/them kids and other versions of privileged children/adults co-opting oppression and attempting to buy into it (without actually having to endure oppression and certainly without acknowledging their roles in it).

Rich kids are deeply into trans activism.
