Elliot Cope, 15, is a student at Timber Creek High School in Fort Worth, Texas, who identifies as non-binary transgender.

On Wednesday, Elliot visited one of the boys' bathrooms to wash their hands. Someone snapped a photo of them at the sink and tweeted it. The photo quickly racked up several retweets with malicious captions including, "Walk in the boy restroom and..." and "Ma'am are you lost?"

"People said transphobic things and it was generally horrid," Elliot told FOX 4.

After the photo began circulating online, Elliot was called into the principal's office and told not to use the boys' bathroom. But there was one silver lining: several students wrote to Elliot with positive comments affirming their support for a gender-neutral bathroom on campus.

Administrators gave Elliot permission to use the gender-neutral faculty bathroom in the past, but Elliot told FOX 4 that they've still gotten into trouble at school for using it.

Timber Creek officials cannot publicly comment on whether the student who took the photo will face consequences.
