BOYERTOWN, Pa. – A Philadelphia high schooler is suing his school district after “he was exposed involuntarily” to a transgender student in the school locker room.

Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Independence Law Center told CBS Philadelphia they filed the lawsuit on behalf of the student against Boyertowon Area School District after he was forced to change in a locker room shared with a female transgender student who identifies as male.

The lawsuit alleges Boyertown Area High School officials did not inform students or parents about school policy to allow transgender students to use whatever facility they choose, and forced the student – identified as John Doe – to “tolerate” the decision. School officials allegedly told the boy to act “natural” when he repeatedly complained about the situation.

“My client is standing up for not only himself but for others who feel bullied,” Independence Law Center attorney Randall Wenger said. “It’s an egregious violation for the school to just brush off these students and tell them that their feelings don’t matter and to make it ‘as natural as they possibly can.’”

The lawsuit aims to reverse the district’s transgender policy and segregate students in bathrooms and locker facilities based on biological gender.

Philly.com reports:

The suit against the Boyertown district claims sexual harassment under Title IX, a federal law; violation of the fundamental right to bodily privacy under the U.S. Constitution; and violation of a state privacy law.

Last month, a federal judge ruled in favor of three Pennsylvania transgender students who sued their school district over a bathroom-choice policy they say violated their civil rights.

The ruling granted a preliminary injunction to the students at Pine-Richland School District near Pittsburgh and effectively ensured they will be able to use the bathroom corresponding with their chosen gender identity as their case proceeds through the courts.

The Boyertown lawsuit also follows the Trump administration’s recent rollback of a decree issued by President Obama last year that threatened schools with the loss of federal funding if they do not comply with his interpretation of Title IX and allow transgender students to use the facilities of their choice.

“No school should rob any student of his legally protected personal privacy. We trust that our children won’t be forced into emotionally vulnerable situations like this when they are in the care of our schools because it’s a school’s duty to protect and respect the bodily privacy and dignity of all students,” Wenger said. “In this case, school officials are clearly ignoring that duty.”

“Our laws and customs have long recognized that we shouldn’t have to undress in front of persons of the opposite sex,” ADF attorney Kellie Fiedorek wrote in a statement. “But now some schools are forcing our children into giving up their privacy rights even though, in this case, Pennsylvania law requires schools to have separate facilities on the basis of sex.”

The Boyertown Area School District issued a prepared statement about the lawsuit, which district officials have yet to receive, WFMZ reports.

“On Tuesday, March 21, 2017 the Boyertown Area School District received a demand letter from multiple attorneys related to student bathroom use,” the statement read. “A complaint has not been officially served to the Boyertown Area School District. The attorneys have given the district until April 4, 2017 to formulate a response.

“Boyertown Area School District is reviewing this matter with our legal counsel and has no further comment at this time.”

LGBT rights advocates, meanwhile, are condemning the lawsuit.

Eliza Byard, executive director for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, told Philly.com the complaining student should be forced to use special accommodations if he’s uncomfortable, to ensure the transgender student is comfortable.

“This does not need to be made into a litigious issue,” she said.
