School Board President Tells Emotional Girl to ‘Wrap It Up’ After She Recounts Trans Athlete Experience

A school board meeting in California featured emotional debate over transgender athletes being allowed to share locker rooms with high school girls. One girl who cried during a speech was told by the board president to “wrap it up.”

During the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) board meeting Wednesday, a high school junior girls’ track athlete at Arroyo Grande High School named Celeste Diest took the podium to recount her experience of having to change in front of a biologically male trans athlete before practice, while that athlete allegedly watched her undress.

“I went into the women’s locker room to change for track practice where I saw, at the end of my row, a biological male watching not only myself, but the other young women undress. This experience was beyond traumatizing,” Diest said, as she began to choke up and cry.

“Adults like yourself make me and my peers feel like our own comfort was invalid, even though our privacy was and still is completely violated.”

Diest then fought through her tears to argue that the trans athlete’s XY chromosomes define the person as a male, adding, “That is basic biology.” (Read more from “School Board President Tells Emotional Girl to ‘Wrap It Up’ After She Recounts Trans Athlete Experience” HERE)
