A transgender teen in Ohio who was elected sophomore homecoming princess as a supposed joke by her schoolmates instead used the title to promote acceptance.
Cassie Steiner, 15, was voted in last week at Mariemont High School, Cincinnati newspaper The Enquirer reports. Mariemont is a suburb of Cincinnati. Steiner came out as a trans girl in April and began her social transition in June.
A school guidance counselor called Cassie’s mother, Kat Steiner, and told her Cassie’s election was a “mean-spirited joke,” The Enquirer reports. The counselor said Cassie could opt out, but the student and her mother decided otherwise.
“She didn’t hesitate to own the fact that she was not going to back down,” Kat Steiner told the paper about Cassie. “She knew that she was going to be a trailblazer.”

United States High School Proms or "Promenades" come from Ivy League universities.
The ritual of choosing a king or queen comes from them.
What are the odds that many people didn't vote for her "as a cruel joke" and this is how the administration is trying to spin it? How does this guidance counselor know the motivation of every kid in the sophomore class?
I mean, I graduated from a catholic school in Ohio more than 20 years ago and we voted for the flamboyant gay kid to play piano and sing at graduation because we knew it would piss off the administration and it would mean the world to him.
Lmao do those dumbass classmates not realize what they've done? They just "ironically" made her their school's first trans *homecoming princess (not prom queen lol whoops), and that's probably how everyone not in on the "joke" will remember her
