Polish transphobic constitutional court judge doxed 10-year-old trans pupil

A Polish constitutional court judge who published the personal details of a 10-year-old transgender child has been widely criticised, including by the mayor of the town where the pupil goes to school.

Krystyna Pawłowicz – who is one of 15 judges on Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal and previously served as an MP for the ruling national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party – tweeted the information in a post on Twitter, where she has over 60,000 followers.

In her tweet, Pawłowicz gave the name and address of a school in Podkowa Leśna – a town near Warsaw – and said that its principal had instructed teachers to address a 10-year-old pupil by her chosen female name, as requested by her parents. Pawłowicz also included the principal’s full name and the chosen name of the pupil, whom she referred to as a «boy», notesfrompoland.com.
