Students Speak Out

Probably not, because if I was in the locker room I wouldn’t want a transgender male or female in the locker room while I’m dressing, I probably would be a little uncomfortable, but I’d really have to be put in that situation.

Should a transgender student be allowed to dress in the locker room of the opposite sex?

I don’t feel that if it was a male that the females would feel comfortable with a transgender female coming into their locker room, I don’t think they would feel comfortable with that.

I feel that it should because they are not physically attracted to the other person, and when they’re dressing there they’re not going to be aroused by the people around them, its not like a guy dressing who likes girls, they would just stare at all the girls, but if they’re not attracted to that sex, to them it’s like whatever, like if a girl is dressing with another girl.
