A Missouri high school has faced a backlash after crowning a transgender girl homecoming queen - beating four biologically female students.

Tristan Young, 17, was voted the homecoming queen at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, following in the steps of Landon Patterson, a transgender who took the title in 2015.

The school has been under fire after it shared photos of Young's crowning and celebrated her honor on social media.

'Another reminder to all girls that men make the best women,' Riley Gaines wrote on X, criticizing Young's crowning.

Gaines is a former college swimmer against transgender women competing with biologically women on sports.

'I wonder if a female will win homecoming king or if it's understood that both of these spots are reserved for males,' she added.

The advocate also retweeted a comment reading: 'I'm sure it would be just fine if a girl were crowned homecoming KING.'

Reactions under the school's social media post were divided, with some came to Young's defense and congratulated her.

'We are so proud of you, Tristan! You are a stunning young woman who is going to change the world, and you deserved this win!!' one wrote.

'And yes, if grown women really find it necessary to spread hate and bully kids like this, then maybe boys DO make the best girls,' another posted on Facebook.

Remember it is the student body that votes for the Queen. Sad to say the woke commie indoctrination “Teachers” are winning.

It brings new meaning to the title Homecoming QUEEN.

I’m curious if Tristan dresses as a girl all the time or if the students pranked the thing by voting for a guy who dressed up for the photo.

Either way, there is a misogynistic bent to the whole thing and the women are silent.
