School Board meetings in California featured emotional features Discussions about trans athletes You are permitted to share a locker room with high school girls. One girl who cried during her speech was told by the board president to “envelope it.”
High school juniors during the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board meeting on Wednesday. Girl track athlete The name Celeste Diest, named Arroyo Grande High School, spoke of his experience of winning the podium and having to change biologically before practice in front of male trans athletes, who is said to have seen him undress.
“I went into the women’s locker room and exchanged at the end of the line for track practice seen by biological men, not just myself but other young women, who were undressed. This experience was beyond trauma.”
“Adults like you make me, and my peers feel our own comfort is ineffective, even if our privacy is completely infringed.”
The Dist then shed tears and argued that the XY chromosome of a trans-athlete defined the person as a man, adding, “it’s the basic biology.”
However, Diest was suspended by LMUSD Board Chairman Colleen Martin.
“Now, wrap it around,” Martin said.
The teen then sniffed and continued talking.
I just want to ask, “How are we?” We cannot sit down and allow women to undress and deal with men who once stripped of women of their opportunity to regain our rights.
Diest then left the podium to applause from the audience before Martin tried to silence the cheers.

“We haven’t,” Martin said.
