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.”
Doubt a H.S. is making much $$ on a H.S. Volley ball team.
There’s no need to go all nuts over this.

Change at home. Shower after the game at home.
Bump
So tired of this crap.
I assume that the other poster meant that the girls should quit the school (not just the v-ball team). Public school funding is typically based on enrollment.
The insane people have acquired power over the sane ones. The politicians who gave them this power need to be kicked out of office.
That's capitulating. The taxpayers paid for their locker room.
I'd have the team captain notify the other schools, the Orange Southwest School District, and the Vermont Agency of Education, that going forward the Randolph Union High School girls' volleyball team intends to play all their remaining games as away games, (no more home games) due to a hostile environment at Randolph Union High School.
I'd include in the notification that any individual with gender dysphoria is not on the roster and will not play on the team. If he shows up to play, the team will forfeit their match.
If any of the staff at competing schools, Randolph Union High School, the Orange Southwest School District, or the Vermont Agency of Education oppose it, then disband the entire team. Never let mentally ill people in government force minors to face such attacks.
ISWYDT............................🤦♀️🤷♀️😜
This is the real war on women.
But I doubt many quit that school...they just quit the VB team.
This crap really outrages me!
We the People of these United States of America...
...including the girls volleyball team players...
Are Disgusted--not afraid--of this mental delusion/ demonic deception.
“Hard to find a better example of how upside down or inside out our institutions have become.”
We normals have been totally rolled by the delusionals.
We have no one else to blame but ourselves for that.
We far outnumber them, yet they’re wiping the floor with us.
“Parents, you know what to do.”
But will they? Right now doesn’t look too likely.
The school officials who promulgate this ridiculous policy need to be left ALONE with the girls’ parents UNDISTURBED for, say, 30 minutes. That should do it.
I meant walk out and stay out of the school. Have a protest. Refuse to go back to school as long as it is unsafe.
