Some of the kids are alright

ht: B

In both Oregon and in California, students staged walkouts in protest of school administrators forcing them to undress in front of students of the opposite sex.

On October 1, students from Esperanza High School in California walked out of school after they were told that a boy (who sometimes identifies as a boy and sometimes identifies as a girl) would be sharing girls’ facilities.

The controversy erupted when junior Ledesma confronted a male student, who sometimes dresses as a girl or a boy, while he was entering the girls’ restroom. “When I asked, ‘why are you in this bathroom?’ I was told ‘I am trans, I identify as a girl,’” Ledesma explained at a press conference following the walkout. “I was immediately alarmed not because I wanted to disrespect anyone’s identity, but because I was suddenly uncertain about my own privacy and safety in a space I had always trusted.”

As is the administrative status quo in this type of situation, any girls who objected would have to go to the nurses station, rather than the one person doing so.

It was worse in Oregon, where students staged a large walkout in protest of a boy who repeatedly used girls’ locker rooms.

The administrators there decided to really put the screws on by making any girls who did not want to share facilities with a boy walk to a different building and find someone to unlock the facilities there. The administration also threatened to cancel student activities like homecoming.

According to one girl, students weren’t informed or asked about the trans bathroom policy, and that it was being pushed on them.

She said staff threatened to cancel the homecoming and other events of students who spoke out, and even threatened suspension.

The irony of this is the administrators and states try to hide behind the term ‘equal treatment’ for all students. But for the girls (and the boys) who object, they are not receiving equal treatment. They are being pushed aside for the mental illness of a clear minority.

Since this is a definite Democrat issue, and they also tout democracy over a representative republic, they really aren’t listening to the majority, are they?

  1. I remember a time when the football team would have taken care of any boy who dared to enter the girl’s locker room (assuming the girls didn’t handle the situation on their own). I’m happy that my sons are long out of school. It’s also stories like this that ease my regret that I have no grandchildren, yet.

  2. So a 50 yr old man who identifies as a 16 yr old girl should be allowed, and supported, to enter a girl highschool locker room. That would be a logical extension of the brand of BS the admin is pushing.

  3. It sounds ‘mean’ and often it was, but shaming, and its enforcement arm, bullying, established and maintained the social order and hierarchy for ages among adolescents. It can be easily abused, but it is simply human nature to pick sides, create alliances, separate into leaders and followers, and punish trespasses against the established order. Not everyone ‘wins’, but when the natural balance is disrupted, everyone loses.

    It is frightening to think of how some dude in a dress would have been dealt with during my high school days, back in the last century. Somehow, the bullied of yore have become the unlikely bullies today, artificially empowered by liberal lunacy turning the natural order on its head. Not good, methinks.

  4. The best part is that the walkout wasn’t organized by the adminstrators for once.

  5. Harbinger – I was in HS in the late 70s, early 80s. I’m not aware of any incidents of dudes in dresses trying to get into the girl’s locker room, but I suspect I know what would have happened. The first time it happened, the girls would have repelled him in whatever way possible, the coaches would have dragged him to the principal’s office and he would have been suspended, if not expelled out right. If that didn’t seem to deter him, the guys would have applied some firm “persuasion” to make him see the error of his ways. The first time, there probably wouldn’t have been any broken bones and probably very little blood. Just bruises in the appropriate area to remind him of his actual sex and maybe a bloody nose. If it had happened a second time, the guy would probably have ended up in the hospital.
    That may seem barbaric to some, but allowing the “dude in a dress” to terrorize the girls is 100 times worse. It’s frightening to me that it took only a few short decades for society to go from limited tolerance for sexual perversions and today’s bending over backwards out of fear of being called “transphobic”.

  6. Silliest–Hopefully we can get back to that. Right now the football team would be punished or expelled.

    Bjorn–I believe that is still happening in Virginia. https://nypost.com/2025/09/26/us-news/sex-offender-accused-of-exposing-himself-in-girls-bathrooms-while-claiming-to-be-trans/

    Harbinger–It used to be beyond high school as well. Once the social norms were affected, things started going downhill.

    Veeshir–The administrators were definitely on the other side of that one. They only organize walk outs for liberal issues.

    Silliest–I think we’re of an age. And yes, the girls with whom I went to high school would have raised such a fuss that dude would have to drop out of school.

  7. This shit’s gotten so out of hand because the “men” in the schools, universities and communities aren’t standing up for the women that inhabit these locals.

    If several of these so called trans people around the country, especially at the high school, college and university level suddenly met with “accidents” encountering baseball bats and hockey stick handles over a goodly portion of their bodies, their aberration would be corrected in a flash, IMHO.

    We’ve fallen so far for the Left’s “everyone has to be tolerant and inclusive” boolchit, that we’ve lost sight of right and wrong.

    We gave them an inch, back in the 50’s when the laws on gays were first being changed and now they’ve taken ten miles, soon to be a thousand, if we let them.
