Trans athletes face intense efforts to sideline them. These California teens are resisting
"two seniors from Arroyo Grande High School spoke out against a transgender peer competing on their track and field team and allegedly "watching" them in the girls' locker room. One of the Central Coast students said she is "more comfortable" changing in her car now. The other cited a Bible verse about God creating men and women separately, and accused the California Interscholastic Federation of subjecting girls to "exploitative and intrusive behavior that is disguised through transgender ideology.""
"Norcross said Lily's teammates had for months been misrepresenting a single moment from the year prior, when Lily had to use the restroom after a full day of avoiding it, chose to use the one in the locker room because it is monitored by an adult and safer for her than others, and briefly stopped to chat with a friend on her way out."
At a recent California high school sports board meeting two Arroyo Grande seniors complained about a transgender teammate competing and allegedly watching them in the girls' locker room. One student said she now changes in her car; another cited Scripture and accused the CIF of subjecting girls to exploitative and intrusive behavior disguised as transgender ideology. The father of a transgender junior described bathrooms and locker rooms as the most dangerous places for trans students and said his child avoids them but sometimes must use them. The father said teammates misrepresented a prior incident. The dispute reflects a heated national debate over trans-inclusive sports policies.
