Girls Volleyball Team Banned From Their Own Locker Room Over Complaint About Transgender Student
Daily Wire ^ | Oct 2, 2022 | By Virginia Kruta

A Vermont high school is cracking down after female students complained about a transgender student in their locker room — and the school’s solution is to ban the girls from their own locker room.

According to a report from local CBS News outlet WCAX, the controversy arose when a transgender teammate allegedly made remarks that made some of the others on the team uncomfortable.

The school informed parents via email that officials were investigating claims that the girls on the team had harassed their transgender teammate. But in the interim, the transgender student is still allowed full use of the locker room while the others have been relegated to a single-stall bathroom to change one at a time.

“It’s a huge thing. Everyone’s asking, ‘So, why aren’t you allowed in the locker room?'” Blake Allen, a member of the volleyball team, told reporters. “My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change. 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.”

Allen went on to note that none of the girls on the team had taken issue with playing alongside the transgender student — or even with that student or others who are still biologically male using the female restrooms. Their sole issue was in sharing a locker room, where often they were all changing clothes together.

“There are biological boys that go into the girl’s bathroom but never a locker room,” Allen explained. She also said that the school’s temporary fix — having all of the girls use one single-stalled restroom while the transgender student had access to the locker room — made no sense to her.

“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 explained, arguing that it made much more sense for the one transgender student to change in the bathroom.

According to the Vermont Agency of Education, transgender students should not be forced to use the bathroom or locker room that does not conform to their gender identity.

“The use of restrooms and locker rooms by transgender students requires schools to consider numerous factors …” The AoE policy reads, but it later adds, “A transgender student should not be required to use a locker room or restroom that conflicts with the student’s gender identity.”

Right on the money, exactly what I am thinking. Hope someday this crap will come to an end.

I was wondering about the "genders" of the various adults at this high school, and the school board of the district that includes it.

Turns out it is called Randolph Union High School, and is in the Orange Southwest School District, which includes Randolph, Braintree, and Brookfield VT.

And guess what? They've taken their entire web presence off line. Randolph Union, and all the other schools in the district, as well as the school board and district offices... all their websites have been removed from the internet.

Not a good look.

They are claiming they took the websites down because of "transphobic hackers," which I find a little hard to believe.

Here's a story on it, put up 13 hours ago:

Randolph-area school district disables its own website following transphobic hack.

What if the girls just said ‘no’? “No, we aren’t going to change in the bathroom.”

People forget or are too reluctant to use the power of the simple word, no.

And their parents should invoke the same word. (Although that will likely get them included on some ‘domestic terrorist’ list.)

This is proof of the massive intellect of the school administration...Their brilliance is amazing....

Transfer out. Homeschool. Form your own private volleyball team. Public schools are superfluous nowadays.

They don’t believe any of this.

They just want to provoke a reaction so they have an excuse to crack down on us.

“...with a mentally deranged tranny or two...”
“Mentally deranged” comes with “tranny”. No insult meant to those who have that problem. However, anyone that really feels that they have to pretend that they are something they are not is....wait for it...mentally deranged.

Don’t any of these girls have boyfriends that would beat the excrement out of the trans dude? That’s the way these problems need to be solved. Just do it a way that the boyfriend doesn’t get in trouble. Ever since this reverse-bullying started many of these problems, like transgenderism, have taken off.

Perhaps they fear that if they said that, something would be put in their permanent record.

No joke. It could result in them being turned down by the colleges they want to go to.

It could also result in admission being revoked by colleges that already have accepted the senior girls on the team.

Remember the hood rat from Memphis that recorded his killing on Facebook or YouTube a few weeks ago? Well at his latest court appearance the judge issued a bench warrant for the survivor victims and witnesses because they won’t come to court as witnesses in fear for their safety. So the victims are being jailed now..........

Why is a boy allowed to play on the girl’s team?

Why is a boy allowed to use the girl’s bathroom?

Why is a boy allowed to get undressed next to teen girls?

The world has gone insane.

I just realized that I was actually born as owner of the school and was just assigned the identity of “baby” by the ignorant bigoted doctors. I hearby fire the morons who decided a biological male should be allowed on the women’s volleyball team in the first place much less in their locker room.

I understand. But someone, somewhere has got to be one to say no to the madness. Making 10 girls change one at a time to accommodate one pretend girl is obviously crazy. If nothing else, make the pretend girl change in the one-stall toilet. But no, that would be discriminating against him, we certainly can’t have that.

Fine, if the girls can’t or won’t then it’s up to the parents to force the school’s hand. (I do realize that schools have been threatened by FJB’s DOE to withhold lunch money if they do not accommodate pretenders. The schools need to learn to say no too.)

Very simple. Since the ladies have no locker room, then it is the responsibility of the district to provide facilities for the ladies, equal to the men’s facilities, otherwise it is gender discrimination. And the parents need to make it a realization to the local government that until those facilities are available, no taxes will be taken out for the inconvenience and separation of the female gender from facilities that were built and paid for with tax dollars distinctly for them. So, no physical education, no extra team sports, and no more tax dollars to use on other programs like books and grounds maintenance.

And the politicians along with the school elected officials will if they do not start the action be subject to recall due to their inability to do their job based upon state and federal education standards along with gender bias. And it’s either that, or the school system will be sued for the court costs and the cost of a new facility for the ladies, again, equal to the men’s facilities. And make sure the governor gets a copy of the demands. The governor is just as subject, if not more being responsible to the state for education, as the education people. Then hand it to the press and watch the sparks fly.

“ Change at home. Shower after the game at home.”

Those freaks don’t qualify to even be on a woman’s team any more than I qualify to be the queen of England
