Middle School Staff Forced Girls to Change in Front of Trans-Identifying Boy, Mom Says
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Illinois public school administrators tried to force a 13-year-old girl to change clothes in front of a biological male, in accordance with the district’s “inclusive” bathroom policy that allows transgender students to use whichever locker room corresponds with their chosen gender, the mother of the girl said at a Deerfield School District 109 School Board meeting on Thursday evening.
When Nicole Georgas’s 13-year-old daughter came home from Shepard Middle School on February 5, she was frightened and upset: A boy had been in the girl’s bathroom.
Georgas’s daughter was told by Deerfield administrators that because the male student identified as a female, he could use the girl’s locker room and bathroom, Georgas said. Although Georgas expressed to the school that the district was “in clear violation” of President Donald Trump’s recent executive order that restricts males from participating in female sports and using female changing rooms, her daughter’s teachers and principal reiterated that under direction from the district’s legal counsel, the male student could use whichever bathroom corresponded to his chosen gender.
Then, Georgas said, “the situation went from bad to worse.”
“A few days later, the male student was present in the girls locker room. Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes with the biological male student present,” Georgas said at the meeting .
Administrators then supervised the locker room to ensure that all girls were changing into their physical education clothes without protest, Georgas claimed. District 109 Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Joanna Ford, Assistant Principal Cathy Van Treese, and Director for Student Services Ginger Logemann tried to force the girls to change in front of the male student, Georgas said; when contacted, the district and administrators did not respond to National Review ‘s requests for comment.
“The girls just want their privacy and they want their locker room back,” she said. “There are gender neutral options. This is my daughter’s story, and the story of many other young girls who have been forced at the difficult age to do something they know and most adults know is wrong.”
According to Georgas, administrators offered to move her daughter to a different PE unit.
Georgas’s school board testimony was booed on Thursday evening by a large audience of transgender activists who spoke in support of the district’s bathroom policy.
Charlie Friedman, a transgender person and parent of a transgender middle schooler, lauded the Illinois gender-inclusive bathroom policy that “protects trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming students from the type of bullying that this parent represents,” Charlie said, pointing to Georgas. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has loudly supported gender inclusive bathroom laws in the state.
“The discomfort or privacy concerns of other students, teachers, or parents are not valid reasons to deny or limit the full and equal use of those facilities based on a student’s gender related identity,” Charlie added. “Instead any student, teacher or other individuals seeking more privacy should be accommodated by providing that individual with a more private option.”
Charlie, the director of operations for Trans Up Front, a non-profit advocacy organization, promised to “dig in to contact our coalition” to pressure the school board to enforce the bathroom policy.
A host of other activists spoke as well. One mother of a transgender student suggested that the board implement more education on transgenderism in schools and said, “A lot of transgender people pass. You wouldn’t know that they’re transgender. And so, what do you want to do? Like, have genital checks of people? Talk about privacy and invasion of privacy! That is a logistical hurdle that you would not want to even try to accomplish.”
Georgas has filed a civil rights complaint with the Department of Justice.
Deerfield is “committed to inclusive practices that ensure equitable outcomes across educational environments for all students,” the district says on its website , and places priority on “identity development and equity best practices,” and ensuring “inclusion of diverse populations and perspectives.”
In February, after Trump began to issue a flurry of executive guidance scaling back so-called inclusive gender policies, the district’s superintendent Michael Simeck said that “District 109 is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and high-quality education for all students.”
Parents across the country have protested transgender bathroom policies, including in Virginia, where a registered male sex offender was allowed to gain access to a public school pool’s female locker room, because he identified himself as female. Jen McDougal, a mother of a nine-year-old girl who was exposed to the man’s penis after swim practice, spoke with National Review in February about the trans bathroom policy that allowed a sex offender to lurk around children
“It’s an abuse of women’s right to feel safe in public spaces,” McDougal said. “I understand there are a lot of people who say you can’t take away a person’s right to use a bathroom that they feel is appropriate for them. But this loophole is what created this situation for us. And he was allowed to enter that restroom, that facility, because he identified as transgender.”

This is what Democrats fight for. Forcing girls to change in front of boys.
A Democratic State Senator is attacking the girl, yes the girl, publicly.
Meanwhile these guys have to change in lady's rooms in Oklahoma
[✘]
All trans men must now use the lady's rooms in the US Capitol...
And trans women must use men's rooms. Are MAGA happy, yet?
Can you prove these guys are actually women?
Careful. Somebody will start crying and accuse you of a hate crime.
Actually, the hate crimes are the doctors that perform these mutilation surgeries to quell the "needs" of a twelve year old. They, the kids' parents and approving teachers, etc, need to be charged with assault on minors.
Why would you imagine that the one trans girl in a gym class would be waving her package around in front of other... girls?
What do you think would happen to these trans girls if they went into men's room
Well, of course. This is as nature intended, if you believe the science of biology.
They're men to begin with, so probably nothing. But it would be at their own risk
Yes, thank you for giving us the women's vote!
Well...you'd probably here "hey check this out, this dude is dressed like a chick with his skirt pulled up taking a pee".
Here is what women look like:
Dammit....soda going up your nose does not feel good....:)
Given those are men...
This might cause the return of pay toilets
Trans men belong in men's rooms and trans women in lady's rooms...
If these trans women must go in men's rooms how will that work out?
“The discomfort or privacy concerns of other students, teachers, or parents are not valid reasons to deny or limit the full and equal use of those facilities based on a student’s gender related identity,”
"I don't think you guys have really thought this through.".
Well, explain to use why you think it's OK for males to intrude into women's space?
Not sure why progressives have picked this particular hill to politically die on.
What makes you think these are trans women? I think you may be stretching to find photo justification for your.......opinion. This one isn't it................
Quick Google photo search came up with this.................
Who hasn't thought this through again?
Because trump opposes men using girls’ locker rooms, they’ll fight to the death to ensure men can use girls locker rooms.
I'm glad you found this because there is no way the people he highlights here are trans. They have too feminine features.
Are plain old lesbians "invading women's spaces"?
No. Lesbians are women. They aren’t men. Does that clear things up?
Though you raise a point many gays have made.[✘]
How can you tell a butch lesbian from a masculine looking straight woman from a transgender woman or any woman? You cannot...
Well men have penises, women don't. So when a male with a penis gets naked in front of girls in a middle school, that's a problem..
sounds like a good problem if you are that young boy, but it raises up, possibly few other things as well,. First off, I am all for people being what, it, them they theirs, or what ever. and No, i don't agree with being forced to call them something different. And No, I don't believe they shouldf be in the girls locker room, or like Trump, in young ladies locker rooms at Beaty Pageants, but cheese and crackers peoples, how often does this happen? Cause i'm thinki9ng this is not a major problem in the US of A whole clot of distracted Dinglebrry's as Trump and Cump. reach down to hand the low Iq'd some red meat, pun intended.
Do you go around demanding a look a people's private parts?
Why do you?
Then again, how can you tell which girls are transgender?
There's lots of manly looking gals. Who'll checks them all?
Generally, students have to get physicals and see doctors in order to attend schools. So, medical professionals.
I don't think a teen girl furtively sneaking a peek at a trans girl's junk while changing into gym shorts will traumatize her much...
You're right. Unless they tell you they are and make a bill fuss if you misgender them
Who are you to decide that for middle school girls?
Crazy that people think an entire class of girls should be intruded upon, and possibly traumatized to indulge a mentally ill person's fantasy.
That attitude is why transgender kids kill themselves so often...
Franky, I think you are being hysterical about not a real problem.
The school decided this kid was most appropriately with girls...
Who are you to override professionals who dealt with all if this?
No it's not.. But pushing them to be mutilated and lying about how things will be better if they were their supposed true gender does.
ho are you to override professionals who dealt with all if this?
did they ask the girls and the parents of the girls who were impacted? Nope. Just imposed the decision upon them and guarded the locker room to ensure they exposed themselves to a boy.
Last I checked public schools are coed and kids were worldly.
Last i checked it’s not your place, or anybodies place, to decide what’s appropriate for other peoples children.
Extend that to parents of transgender kids and we agree!
Except, in your view they and their kids should not exist...
YOu are literally telling parents of kids what's appropriate for their kids. Do you not understand what you've been claiming?
You have no fucking idea what my view is, don’t pretend you do.
Wrong....
THe attitude of those that believe it is ok to mutilate their bodies to make THEM feel good is what makes those that "transitioned" commit suicide.
Young people should not be groomed to believe they are another gender, as it will mar them for life.
For those unlucky enough to have transed, the chance of them realizing the mistake they made, resulting in MORE mental issues, makes them far higher risk to commit suicide than any other reason.
I remember not that long ago there were reports of this type of study that the results were hidden because it went against what the Biden administration was trying to push.
You are wrong, misinformed and willfully spreading dangerous disinformation...
This is one of those 90/10 issues that I am happy when I see folks on the left support guys in girls bathroom or sports. Keep up the good work.
They've noticed that the push by some progressives towards brainwashing kids that they aren't real boys or girls if they don't conform exactly to traditional roles is essentially an attempt to eradicate gay people. The idea is popular among some rabid muslims and some progressives. (Heaven forbid anyone think I'm indicting all)
For instance, they gaslight boys with who aren't typically masculine into believing they are actually girls trapped in a boys body and push them to get mutilated.. These type of extremists (progressive or muslim) believe “ real boys” can’t be gay or less than stereotypically masculine. So they use surgery to get rid of gays.
It looks like you don't realize your link backed my post up 100 percent.
Thanks for the link. I can use it again when someone wants to say transitioning does not cause higher rates of suicide.
Title IX is supposed to protect women.
If democrats are so supportive of trans people, let them build rest rooms and changing rooms just for them. What they really need is mental health.
Nothing like forcing women to share the most private of spaces with men while claiming to protect them. Some of these women have nor doubt been victimized in their past, and democrats don’t care.
I think Rep Mary Miller has the answer:
Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., has called on President Donald Trump to "pull all federal funding" from one district in the state after one mother alleged that her daughter and other students were forced to change in front of a transgender student in the girls’ locker room.
Miller posted a message on social media Tuesday, calling the allegation an "egregious violation" of the young girls’ privacy and Trump’s "Keeping Men out of Women's Sports" executive order, which effectively banned trans participation in women’s and girls’ sports.

BTW Mary Miller is a WOMAN. HERE:
People with Penis's belong in the mens room and vaginas in the womens room. we need to stop letting people with mental illnesses dictate to the rest of us.
Get them the help they need. As much as I hate losing such a winning issue with voters, these people need serious help.
It doesn't matter.
This whole issue has been drummed up by stupid people who want your stupid votes. So you are more than pleased to suck on the probiscis that lets you rant and rave about what less than 1/100th of the population is doing.
Suck it up buttercup.
And I don't care if you spit it out or swallow.
This whole issue has been drummed up by stupid people
exactly, stupid, unhappy crazy progressives decided that biology and common sense don’t apply to them and they could make up a new cause to pretend to be oppressed over.
the same people who adamantly want men to shower with girls are the same self loathing, bored, rich white liberals who paid black race grifters thousands of dollars to come to their dinner party and tell them how racist they are. They are people who suffer from mental health issues that excess leisure and money have acted as force multipliers upon.
its no coincidence the biggest move in political identity since 2016 is among working class minorities who have rejected the party whose ideology caters to middle aged rich white women with mental health issues,
Why don't you look for a real issue to fight about? Instead of worrying about dicks in locker rooms besmirching the honor of precious females, why aren't you talking about the tremendous tax cut that Trump/Musk want to give to Trump/Musk that the middle class and poor are going to have to pay for?
I'll tell you why, because it is easier to gain sympathy over the two trans athletes in Maine who wish to play girls sports, crying crocodile tears when it is as or more traumatizing for the trans child. But you have zero sympathy for anyone who disrupts the norm. Go away. Don't come around here. Just like in Idaho where the teacher is being told "Everyone is welcome" is not the proper message.
Just another thing to slide down the memory hole: No, Virginia. There is no such thing as trans people... "Poof" No. The Stonewall Bar in NYC was run by two self-respecting people, not two trans people. They could never be tax paying trans business people because that would not fit with the narrative. Just look at the website, it it says "LGB"... There is no reference to any trans individuals. No, no. Trump wouldn't change that, someone is filling your head with lies.. Let's go to re-education camp so you won't have to worry about this anymore...
Fighting against the Dem/Leftist agenda to destroy anything objectively true and replace it with 'feelings' is a real issue to fight about.
Dudes in women's bathrooms is just another 90/10 issue you, et all , far left progressives are on the losing end.
1. Democrats do something crazy that would have been unthinkable even 15 years ago and destroy a social norm ( boys don’t change in teenaged girls locker rooms)
2. When parents and other normal people object, they declare the people noticing the destruction of norms are being divisive and engaging in pointless culture wars.
3. Rinse and repeat forever.
It is a real issue. The left made it one and it is a winner for Republicans.
What makes a person normal?
And, what makes them feel that they are empowered by the PotUS to push their bullying agenda on the world?
It would seem that some feel their own personal views should be legislated and held above others as law and the "Right" way to do things.
I seriously do not think that most people on here know what an objective truth re. gender and sexuality and they probably won't like it. Which is why they are behind the cessation of all research into these fields. That is to say, they think that their own personal feelings on the issue are "the objective truth" ...
I asked ChatGPT just now "I want a summation of the latest science regarding physical manifestations of gender"
What makes them feel so entitled to LIE about their child being "forced" to change in from of a trans student? "Each locker room has private changing stations available to all students". Some boys don't like changing in front of other boys and some girls don't like changing in front of other girls, there is no "forced" stripping in front of anyone let alone a trans student as this obvious rightwing conservative Karen claims.
