Parents criticize school board as boys investigated for complaining about trans student in locker room

  • In Loudoun County, Virginia, three teenage boys at Stone Bridge High School are being investigated under Title IX after they expressed concerns about a transgender boy—assigned female at birth—using the boys' locker room in May 2025.
  • The investigation follows a complaint by the transgender student who recorded the boys, while Policy 8040, adopted in 2021, permits students to use facilities matching their gender identity, and recording in locker rooms is illegal.
  • Parents and local figures expressed outrage at a school board meeting, arguing the boys' discomfort was reasonable, while the school district and officials emphasized the need to uphold policies against harassment and protect all students.
  • Governor Glenn Youngkin demanded Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares launch an independent inquiry into LCPS's handling of the case, calling it "beyond belief" that the boys are being investigated while the opposite-sex privacy violation persists.
  • The episode highlights ongoing tensions over Policy 8040 and transgender inclusion in schools, with critics warning the investigation risks harming students' futures and supporters asserting the policy ensures safety and support for all students.
