PORTLAND, Ore.–Parents at a rural Oregon high school have filed a federal lawsuit over the school district's policy to allow a transgender male student to use the boys' locker room and bathroom, mirroring a similar civil action in Illinois that did not survive a legal challenge.
The lawsuit filed this week in Portland challenges a decision by the Dallas School District to allow Elliot Yoder, now 16, to use boys' facilities.(snip)
"The case targets transgender youth for simply existing and seeking an education," said Mat dos Santos, legal director for ACLU Oregon. "This lawsuit is senseless and cruel but it is not a meaningful threat to the right of transgender students in Oregon."
Herb Grey, an attorney for the parents of three current and former Dallas students, disagreed and said the district's policy to allow Yoder into such private spaces violated the civil rights of the majority of the students who do not identify as transgender. Boys using the locker room and bathroom feel embarrassed and ashamed to have to disrobe in the presence of another student who was biologically female, he said.
"The key to this whole thing is not just the privacy and the rights of just one student. It's the rights of all the students and their parents and you can't interpret federal law and state law and impose it on everyone else and say you're accommodating everyone — because you're not accommodating everyone," said Grey, the plaintiffs' attorney.
The school has a gender neutral bathroom that Yoder initially used for changing before gym class, but he asked to use the boys' facilities because the bathroom was two floors away from the locker room and other students noticed when he left to change.

GOOD! It's time to push back over these tranny bullies.
“he asked to use the boys’ facilities because the bathroom was two floors away from the locker room and other students noticed when he left to change. “
So she thinks the boys won’t notice she has no penis when she hits the showers?
This freak show demonstrates just how desperate people are to distance themselves far from truth. Lies upon lies upon lies. It kills the soul. No wonder everyone looks dead. Poor kids.
When the sane are forced to sue the insane in order to defend an immutable natural law like biological reality, no one has any right to complain when the "smite" button is pressed.
He-she wants to expose her nakedness to boys but not to girls and the teenage boys are supposed to just accept her straddling a urinal as one of the guys
Got to think sbout that one
Why are girls helping out?
Zot, no kidding! What a miserable slew of folks!
When I was in school in the 70s and 80s, none of the girls took showers because we didn’t have time. Those who weren’t wearing a dress usually didn’t even change clothes for gym.
What the boys did, I have no idea.
I never dreamed that the state of affairs could sink like this. It truely boggles my mind.
Does a boy menstruate? Does a girl have a penis? Insanity!?!
Bizarre.
Has anyone thought about just using Real Science to determine things like this, you know, XX or XY chromosomes????
Or would that be too extreme?
