ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Several Western Albemarle High School students have launched a petition to go back to biological sex-exclusive bathrooms.
Organizer Bailey Tabor say she, personally, has had a transgender student enter the girl’s room and it made her and the other students inside feel uncomfortable. The student eventually left the restroom, but Tabor says she’s not the only student who’s been in the same position, and she said the school already has multiple gender-neutral bathrooms that are accessible to anyone who may not feel comfortable in traditionally assigned restrooms.
“The movement is neither religious nor political, we just hope to gain support for everyone,” she said on The Schilling Show. “I’ve never really been overly political in any sense, but just the fact that something was happening in the school that a bunch people weren’t happy about, and when we tried to make that change, they said that nothing could be done about it, you know, that kind of inspired me to reach out and try to make some change happen.”
The goal was to reach 1,000 signatures with their goal met.
