Bullying in school is typically talk or intimidating behavior.

The individuals who decided it was just great for a boy to cross-dress and attend classes with folks who felt intimidated by that are certainly part of the bullying problem and should be held accountable.

To a degree the boy's crossdressing falls into the same sort of category we have to place the wearing of the hi-jab. Initially portrayed as being little more than a head-covering for purposes of traditional modesty, in reality it is found to be a message to other women in the same area that "someone is watching" so they'd best be careful. So too with the boy's dresses, fishnet stockings, high-heels, etc. The message is clear. The response, although out of scale with the threat, should not have been unexpected.

The same language must be made to work on both sides of table in this case, or it doesn't work on either side.

I was not aware that members of the Saudi Royal Family posted on FR.
