HOUSTON -- A Nimitz High School senior says he's being discriminated against because he dresses like a girl. 

O'Rhonde Chapman, 17, was born a boy, but says he feels like a woman.

“I wear women's clothing every day,” he said.

But Monday was the first time Chapman wore a wig and stiletto heels to school. The principal told him to change his clothing or go home. Chapman was told he was in violation of the school's dress code policy.

“I would like to be able to wear my hair and everything and still be treated the same and have an equal opportunity to have an education, as others do. I ought not be segregated or sent home because of what I have on,” Chapman said. “I am losing out on my education. That upsets me.
