The video showed a teen crying after their grandfather put them in a headlock "because I asked to be called they/them." The account posted an Instagram reel on Tuesday showing a teenager crying while saying they were put in a headlock by their grandfather "all because I asked to be called they/them." The caption of the video is "BASED GRANDPA," with a fire emoji.

thrown to the ground definitely wouldn’t count. Just a headlock could though.
Abuse doesn’t require the abuser to cause injuries. Reacting violently to an innocuous request is abuse enough.
