Anna Larson, the mother of a daughter who attends A.C. Reynolds High School in Asheville, North Carolina, said the girl was forced to share a restroom in November 2024 with a boy.
When the mother told the school board about her concerns, they said that if her daughter or any other girl had a problem with it, they could use a single-stall facility on the other side of the school — instead of making the boy use that restroom.
Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), which has the exclusive story, said that this alternative to girls using their own restrooms “was not only impractical—it was humiliating.”
North Carolina’s governor is a leftist, but Republicans dominate the legislature. Lawmakers will codify the definition of “man” and “woman.” They will vote on Tuesday to override the governor’s veto. IWF said the measure has bipartisan support.
The redefinition of the word “sex” in federal civil rights laws began under the Obama administration. Federal agencies declared that sexual orientation and “gender identity” were included in the redefinition.
Here’s the problem for leftists: only Congress can amend the federal code. Congress has not chosen to do so.
Additionally, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect the privacy and safety of girls and women in schools and educational programs that receive federal dollars.
“Anna’s daughters are learning the hard way that the institutions that are supposed to protect them fall woefully short of their duties,” said Sarah Wilder, IW Features contributor and author of Larson’s profile. “Their mother is an inspiring example of what can happen when everyday American men and women step in and do the unpopular work that activists, legislators, governors, and school administrators seem unwilling to do.”
