When the parents of girls on the University of Pennsylvania’s girls’ swim team sent a letter voicing their concerns about their daughter sharing a locker room with transgender “woman of the year” candidate Lia Thomas, the university suggested that student-athletes upset by the school’s “welcoming and inclusive environment” utilize the “robust resources” available to them at Penn, including Counseling and Psychological Services and the LGBT Center.
This spring, Libs of TikTok revealed that the Massachusetts Department of Education had adopted the same guidelines: If a girl has a problem sharing a locker room with a biological male, she should work with school administrators and counseling staff “to foster understanding of gender identity.” The onus always falls on biological women to adapt.
Now, The Daily Mail is reporting that a high school volleyball team in Vermont has been banned from its own locker room after complaining about a transgender student. Now the transgender student has use of the locker room, and the girls are left to change in bathroom stalls.
After years of being told to listen to gut instinct, when women feel uncomfortable being with men in locker rooms/bathrooms women are shamed, bullied, called sexist slurs. When men demand women’s spaces for their comfort they are immediately accommodated.https://t.co/2CC7NBrCxi

Instead of asking the male to change in the single stall restroom after he’s said to have made inappropriate remarks while they were changing, they banned the entire team from using their own locker room and are making the *team* change in the single stall restroom.

Delegitimizing their feelings isn't a great angle.

People have the liberty to "feel uncomfortable" just like the Trans-Woman "feels uncomfortable" in the Men's Room.

I’m sorry but if I come across this situation in public, I will be telling them they’re in the wrong bathroom.

The condescension and air of superiority is nauseating. And his whole question “Why do you feel uncomfortable with other women?” just ignores the real issue which is that he’s a freaking guy and that’s why they’re uncomfortable.

It’s up to the females to take advantage of counseling and psychological services and visit LBGTQ offices to confront their transphobia. It couldn’t be that the one “girl” with male testicles could have some consideration and change in private.
