“Of course you can’t say too much about your own daughter, but I actually think they are a bit right,” says Paul Brink about the tens of thousands of heartwarming reactions on social media that often label his 14-year-old daughter Frédérique as a hero. .

Yesterday afternoon in Amstelveen she was beaten up by a boy, because she refused to answer the question whether she is a boy or a girl. Instead, Frédérique did something completely different.
“I think it’s great what she has done, really special,” says Brink from his living room. “She said: I am who I am, and you can be whoever you want to be. He didn’t like that and that is of course too crazy for words. Then he went completely crazy.”

“He doesn’t have to go to jail, but those stuff in my nose are so terribly annoying”

Frédérique is now recovering at home. Her nose is broken, her jaw is bruised and she has lost several teeth. Fortunately, brain damage could be ruled out after a CT scan. Brink: “She was also in the car yesterday, then we drove back and she said to her friend: I’m actually not that angry about it, I don’t want him to go to jail either, but I find those two cotton balls in my nose is so terribly annoying. That’s kind of how she manages it.”

“Let’s try to reverse the wounds this has inflicted in a kind of positive sense”

Frédérique would also have liked to go to the Pride that starts tomorrow with her friend. His daughter’s attitude motivated Brink to share the story.
“Let’s try to turn around the wounds this has left in a kind of positive sense. I think it’s very sad that this happened, for the pain for Frédérique, but also for such a boy that he eats it. It’s not “normal reaction. A normal reaction is, we have seen that, those are the hundreds of thousands of reactions from everyone. And that is normal in the Netherlands and not the behavior of this boy.”
