A high school in Vermont banned girls on its volleyball team from their own locker room after they expressed discomfort with changing in front of a male who pretends to be a female.
Teen girls on the Randolph Union High School volleyball team said a male student claiming to be transgender reportedly “made an inappropriate comment while members of the volleyball team were getting changed.”
When players and their parents raised concerns about teen girls sharing intimate spaces with someone of the opposite sex, the school told them state law allows for students claiming to be transgender to use whichever bathrooms and locker rooms they desire. The school is also investigating whether the team violated the school’s harassment, hazing, and bullying policy.
“My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change,” one of the volleyball girls, Blake Allen, told local news outlet WCAX3. “I feel like for stating my opinion — that I don’t want a biological man changing with me — that I should not have harassment charges or bullying charges. They should all be dropped.”
In addition to threatening punishment for students for speaking up about their discomfort, school administrators claimed that girls who do not want to share their protected space with the opposite sex should go out of their way to “change in privacy.”
“They want all the girls who feel uncomfortable — so pretty much 10 girls — to get changed in a single stall bathroom, which would take over 30 minutes. Where if one person got changed separately, it would take a minute, like no extra time,” Allen said.
In that same email to parents, high school officials said their investigation will primarily focus on allegations that the girls harassed the transgender student even though the school’s harassment policy specifically bars the kind of inappropriate comments the male student allegedly made.
“A hostile environment exists where the harassing conduct is severe, persistent or pervasive so as to deny or limit the student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the educational program on the basis of sex,” the sexual harassment section of the school handbook states.
Administrators at Randolph Union High School did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.
Everyone just quit the team and play volleyball on the weekends. Problem solved.
That’s good. Proudly forfeit every game or play in street clothes rather than give in to amoral demands from the woke left. It’s the only way this crap will ever end.
Brilliant point. They need a lawyer and file suit. They are being denied a safe environment.
Where are the fathers?
Move to Alabama, I hope things would be different.
The so called ‘hostile environment’ has been caused by the BOY ...
why isnt HE changing elsewhere ???
Whats wrong with HIM changing with the other BOYS ???
Why are one person's feeling so much more important than everyone else's?
To your point- they need to look at going to college as you would moving from the frying pan into the fire. Its WAY worse in 90% of colleges than this, so if they lose a scholarship they probably aren’t losing much at all.
Read my post # 36, this is bigger than an isolated case. Get used to the unisex future. Female modesty is the true target here.
The only way this stops is treating this as mentally ill girls and boys that require treatment, not accomodation and encouragemsnt.
But for ALL who suffer, both sexes. Its not just about sports and trophies. Its wrong no matter who is doing it because its mental illness, and its wrong to foster and encourage people in their mental illness.
Thats not empowering. Its enabling, its setting mentally ill people up to fail, its also a vehicle used to attack those who won’tsupport the insanity of promoting mental illness.
Gender dysphoria and pushing it on to those who don’t buy into it is satanic. End of story. Whatever happened to majority rule?
This. They won’t, though. Scholarship money at stake. Gotta go to college, you know.
And all..or most.. of the parents should support them.
We have yet to grasp just how evil Democrats have become.
Minority rules. It how autocrats work.
It the New World Disorder in action.
Minority rules. It’s how autocrats work.
It’s the New World Disorder in action.
Where are their boyfriends, brothers, cousins, or Dads?
That weirdo would get a warning. Then if the behavior wasn’t changed, there would be “accidents.”
You had to dig pretty deep for that nonsense.
i think 10 girls can take him. if he still has his “equipment” pummel his nutsack. I’ll send them money for a hammer.
Better statement than men beating on him. JMHO.
