The Bottom Line:

Student safety and privacy rights in showers, restrooms, and locker rooms for the  99.9% should not depend on others’ beliefs about their gender.

• No student’s right to privacy should be contingent on other students’ beliefs about their gender.
• The Constitution protects every student’s right to bodily privacy.
• That right to bodily privacy means a right not to be seen undressed by the opposite sex.

Sex-specific showers, restrooms, and locker rooms are a commonsense solution to protect the bodily privacy and safety of all students.

Key Fact
Without notifying students or their parents, Avon Grove School District started allowing boys into middle school girls’ locker rooms, and vice versa, based on the students’ own beliefs about their gender.

The Bottom Line:

Student safety and privacy rights in showers, restrooms, and locker rooms for the  99.9% should not depend on others’ beliefs about their gender.
