In Vermont, Female Volleyball Players Banned from Their Own Locker Room Because They Complained About a Transgender Teammate Who Made an "Inappropriate" Remark To Them

Hey we're all gals here, right? Nice ass, Sister-girl!

This must be an enclave of Southern White Trump Supporters in Vermont. The kind of people who would call the National Guard to remove 50 illegal aliens who showed up a bus to remove them to a military prison camp, like the ones who did that in Martha's Vinyard.

Vermont girls' high school volleyball team is barred from their OWN locker room after complaining about transgender student who uses it and who 'made inappropriate remark' to them

Members of Randolph High School volleyball team have to change in bathroom stall after complaining about transgender student using their locker room

The female players claim the transgender student made a comment to them while they were changing that they found to be 'inappropriate'

Under Vermont state law, students can play sports and use the locker rooms of whatever gender with which they identify

The school is now investigating the gender-locker room dispute

Members of a Vermont girls high school volleyball team have been banned from using their own locker room and now have to change in a single bathroom stall after they complained about a transgender teammate.

Some teammates allege that the transgender player at Randolph Union High School made an 'inappropriate remark' to some of them while they were changing in the locker room.

They now want the school to relocate the transgender player, who hasn't been named. No details of the alleged inappropriate remark have been shared.

...

Blake Allen, a player on the team, told WCAX how uncomfortable it makes her feel, saying 'its a huge thing . . . everyone's asking 'why aren't you allowed in the locker room?'

Parents aren't helping by giving their daughters bisexual names. But that's a separate thing.

Shortly after the incident, the school sent out an email to families of the players, informing them that the school has 'plenty of space where students who feel uncomfortable with the laws may change in privacy.'

Superintendent Layne Millington, who oversees the Orange County School District, has yet to comment on the controversy.

With about 10 players on the team, Allen said that making each of them getting changed in the single bathroom stall doesn't make sense.

'They want all the girls who feel uncomfortable to get changed in a single-stall bathroom, which would take over 30 minutes,' she said. 'Where, if one person got changed separately, it would take a minute, like no extra time.'

Allen said the issue isn't with the transgender athlete playing on the team, but being in a locker room where the female students are at their most vulnerable.

...

'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 said.

School officials sent out another email informing parents they are looking into allegations that the volleyball girls harassed the transgender student.
