The mum of a transgender girl who had her application rejected by an all-girls school has launched a discrimination battle against the institution.
Emma Jensen, the mother of 12-year-old Harley Jensen, said she was assured by the staff at Brisbane's Carinity Education Southside that her daughter's biological sex would not be an issue during her enrolment.
"I said, 'she's a female. She identifies as a female and is on hormone blockers so she can transition. I don't see the problem'," she told 7News.
"I wanted to make sure, I didn't want to set it up to get hurt."
At the time she was also seeking enrolment for her 13-year-old daughter Rylee. While Rylee's application was accepted, Harley's wasn't.
