Damian Harry, whose daughter was pals with Brianna, told MailOnline he believes she was verbally and physically abused “because she was trans”.
He said: “She said she was devastated by the constant abuse and even talked of ending it all.
“It was down to her being trans. It is disgusting what happened.
“Her dad has apparently said he raised safeguarding at the school a thousand times. But little was done. The abuse was constant all because she was different.
“Let's be frank she was bullied because of her sexuality. Of course this is a hate crime.”
Yesterday The Sun revealed just five days before her death she posted a video with the caption: “Got excluded from school.”
Emma Mills, Head Teacher at Birchwood Community High School, said: “We are shocked and truly devastated to hear of the death of Brianna.
“This is understandably a very difficult and distressing time for many and we will do our utmost to support our pupils and wider school community.”

“I was excited for how much better it would be for trans people 10 years later and well…it just seems to be going backwards again.
“Heart goes out to Brianna’s family.”
Singer Sophie Ellis-Bexter posted: “This story is so heartbreaking. My thoughts are with her family and friends.”
Actor James Dreyfus, who famously played gay police officer Constable Kevin Goody on the Thin Blue Line, said: “Rest In Peace, Brianna.”
