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.
