Girls Say Trans Student Watched Them Change in Locker Room, Sparks Federal Complaint

A growing controversy at a North Carolina high school has escalated into a federal complaint after students and parents accused school officials of dismissing concerns about a 🏳️‍⚧️Transgender student allegedly using the girls’ locker room.

The dispute centers on allegations at Cox Mill High School in Concord, where some female students said they felt uncomfortable changing in front of a biological male student who reportedly used girls’ facilities while participating on school cheer teams, per exclusive reporting from the New York Post.

According to a complaint filed Tuesday by the conservative legal group America First Legal, school administrators failed to address repeated concerns raised by students and parents.

One student, Trista Ruck, publicly addressed the Cabarrus County School Board during a meeting in December, describing what she said classmates had experienced inside the locker room.

“There is a biological male who dresses and acts like a female who is on the football and basketball cheer team. That is not the issue. The issue is whenever he dresses and undresses in the women’s locker room and uses the women’s restroom,” Ruck told board members.

She also relayed claims from another student-athlete who allegedly felt uneasy after noticing the student watching girls change clothes during team workouts.

“ peer of mine, who is on a sports team, that during scheduled spring workouts for her sport, she was in the locker room changing when she noticed him watching her and the other girls dress and undress,” Ruck said. “She stated that this made her feel extremely uncomfortable.”
