Transgender Homecoming Queen Cassidy Campbell Bullied Over Win [VIDEO]; "Everyone Is Just So Ignorant" As First High School Student To Break Gender Barrier At Homecoming Makes Video To Share Her Pain

Transgender Homecoming Queen Cassidy Campbell is blazing a trail of acceptance for other transgender students, but she is encountering bullying along the way.  
Transgender homecoming queen Cassidy Campbell thought that the night she was crowned homecoming queen at Marina High School, only the second transgender student ever to receive that honor and the first high school student, would be the happiest night of her life, but she ended up making a youtube video of her crying about bullying.
Transgender homecoming queen Cassidy Campbell told the Los Angeles Times: "If I win it would mean that the school recognizes me as the gender I always felt I was.  But with all the attention, I realized it's bigger than me. I'm doing this for the kids who can't be themselves."
Transgender homecoing queen Cassidy Campbell told radio station KTLA: "I realized it wasn't for me anymore and I was doing this for so many people all around the county and the state and possibly the world and I am so proud to win this not just for me, but everyone out there"

Transgender homecoming queen Cassidy Campbell said in her video: "After 16 years of struggling, I finally do it and I finally am myself -- thinking I'll be so happy, it's just sad that everyone has to be so judgmental about it, and so hateful, and so mean and so negative. I've never done anything to any of these people. And I don't know why they have to be this way, when I've done nothing to them. It just hurts so bad because I feel just as much of a girl as all of them do... Everyone is just so ignorant."

'Sometimes I wonder, ''is it even worth it?'' And if I should just go back to being miserable and just be a boy...so everyone will just shut up and leave me alone

Cassidy Campbell is  the second transgender student to be elected homecoming queen by her peers. In 2009, Jessee Vasold was named homecoming queen at William and Mary, a college in Virginia.
