      I mean this is high school. She got on the squad and nobody knew she was trans? Did she just transfer there?

        My take was that she joined the squad when presenting male, and then came out later.

          I feel like that’s probably the most likely scenario yeah. She might not have even known she was trans when she joined it. Getting closer to the other girls might have been the thing that helped her realize she didn’t want to just be part of the cheer squad she actually wanted to be one of the girls.

          Because it’s a fucking school. It’s a kind of tight-knit group even if it’s a lot of people. People would notice some dude disappeared the same day a new girl started.

            Lol that is not how it works. You don’t turn into a girl over night one day. You might be confused about what coming out as trans means. It doesn’t mean she transitioned, it just means she told people she is trans. She may have presented as a girl for a long time before that already

        She clearly got on the squad while presenting male. Male cheerleaders exist? “When she came out” was when the other girls on the squad made the pact.

    They agreed to track those boys relentlessly, attend the same colleges, go to work for the same companies, join the same gyms, and badmouth them to every woman they came in contact with for the rest of their lives. The plan was all set until Rhonda frowned. “What’s wrong?” asked Kelly. The girls all clustered around. “Well,” said Rhonda, “I was just thinking… wouldn’t murder be simpler?”

      But at that moment one of the other girls, Jaimie, piped up. "Hold up. Do we even need to do anything?", confusion plain on her face.  
Rhonda thought for a moment, and replied "What do you mean?" 
"It's just that any guy that would make fun of her would be trash to begin with, right?" Jaimie reasoned. 
 "Yes?" Rhinda replied, seeing where this was going. 
 "So, who would even like them as a friend?" 
 "Yeah, that makes sense!" One of the others said.
 "But they do *still* have friends." Rhonda put in. "Nobody's *actually* friendless, right?"
 "Yeah, I guess. But wouldn't their friends also be trash?" Jaimie questioned.
 "Yes, probably." Rhonda responded, not liking where this was going at all.
 "So, they would probably only date trash girls, but not even a trash girl wants a trash boyfriend." 
 "Uh-huh." Cam Rhonda's response, non-plussed. "But, what about wife beaters? They are trash, and they can still get girlfriends."
This continued for a couple of days. In the end, the problem didn't show itself, because even dickheads cave to peer pressure and social norms in high school. It did come very close to happening when a freshmen misgendered the girl, but that had more to do with the restrictive policies the school has with regards to gender identity, and was swiftly resolved when the combined pressure of an entire cheersquads warning glares crashed down upon the hapless boy.
