A school board meeting in California contained emotional debate about transient athletes who were allowed to share dressing rooms with girls in high school. A girl who cried during a speech was asked to “wrap it up” by the board president.

Under Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) The board meeting on Wednesday, a high school’s junior girls athlete at Arroyo Grande High School named Celeste Diest Podium took her experience of changing in front of a biologically male trans-athlete before practice, while the athlete allegedly saw her dress.

“I went into the woman’s dressing room to change to track practice, where at the end of my row I saw a biological man who did not see myself, but the other young women dressed up. This experience was beyond traumatizing,” Diest said as she began to strangle and cry.

“Adults like yourself make me and my friends feel that our own comfort was invalid even if our privacy was and is still completely violated.”

Diest then fought through her tears to claim that the trans athlete’s xy chromosomes define the person as a man and added, “It’s basic biology.”

But Diest was then interrupted by LMUSD board president Colleen Martin.

“Okay, please pack it up,” Martin said, moving to Diest to finish his point.

The teenager then sniffed and continued to talk.

“I just want to ask ‘what about us?’ We cannot sit around and allow our rights to be abandoned to accommodate a person who is a man who sees women undressing and removing female opportunities that were once fought for us.

Diest then went away from the podium to a roaring applause from the audience before Martin tried to dampen cheer.

Martin even started slamming his gable down to try to temper the growing applause, but cheering got higher after that.

“No!” Martin shouted when cheering got taller.

Then Martin just sat there silently as the applause continued for several seconds before the final temperate, and the next speaker gave another speech against Trans -Inclusion.

Before Diest’s speech, one of the other speakers asked, a woman named Shannon Kessler, who was scheduled to go after the teenager, Martin, if she could give her talk time for Diest. But Martin denied this request.

“We don’t,” Martin said.

Several other parents, unlike trans athletes, were present, while other members of the community spoke in support of trans -cluttering.

California has been one of the many blue states of the nation to defy President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executing order and has allowed Trans athletes to compete with girls for over a decade.

A law called AB 1266 Has been in effect since 2014 and gives California’s students at Scholastic and Collegiate levels the right to “participate in sex-divorced school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities that comply with his or her gender identity, regardless of gender listed on student items.”

California’s rules for rules section 4910 (K) define gender as: “A person’s actual sex or perceived sex and includes a person’s perceived identity, appearance or behavior, whether the identity, appearance or behavior is different from this traditionally associated with a person’s gender at birth.”

CIF Statutes 300.d. Mirrors the education code that says: “All students must have the opportunity to participate in CIF activities in a way that is in line with their gender identity, regardless of the gender listed on the student’s posts.”

These laws and the subsequent, enabling Trans athletes to compete with girls and women in the state, have resulted in more controversy over the issue in the last year alone.

California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) said it will continue to follow the state’s law that allows athletes to participate as the gender they identify as, a spokesman Pakinomist Digital told.

“CIF gives students the opportunity to belong, connect and compete in educational -based experiences in accordance with California’s legislation [Education Code section 221.5. (f)] Which allows students to participate in school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions that are in accordance with the student’s gender identity, regardless of gender listed on the student’s posts, “says a CIF declaration.

California’s State Law’s Democratic majority rejected two bills that would have changed state law to ban trans athletes from girls’ sports on April 1.
