Protest planned over transgender students in girls sports, bathrooms

April 17, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

A group of parents of elementary through high school school students across San Luis Obispo County plan to keep their children home for one day later this month to protest transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports and using female bathrooms.

The countywide protest, set for April 28, is being organized by California Parents for Change, a group started by parents. The group wants local schools to ban biological males from girl’s bathrooms and sports and to prohibit menstrual product machines in boy’s bathrooms.

“We call on all schools in San Luis Obispo County to protect the civil rights of our children by aligning their policies with Title IX and President Trump’s executive orders, maintaining sex-segregated sports teams, locker rooms, and restrooms exclusively for biological males and females, respectively,” according to the California Parent’s for Change website. “This violation by our schools threatens the dignity, safety, and opportunities of both our sons and daughters—denying fair competition in sports as well as privacy for both boys and girls.”

The group is giving school districts in SLO County until April 27 to “show compliance.” If their demands are not met, parents in the group plan to keep their children home on April 28 and then one day each month until local school districts “adhere to Federal Law, respecting Title IX and executive orders that safeguard the rights of all our children, sons and daughters alike.”

The protest is designed to cause financial damage at a time many school districts are working through tough financial times. Funding for school districts is based on daily attendance.

I totally support the parents who are tired of the perverse nonsense coming at their children. It is total madness that these children are taught, in school science class, the genetic differences of males and females and then subjected to the complete idiocy of “gender identity “. Talk about confusion! And the idea of acceptance of this perversion is so evil! Are we to “accept “ pedophiles , because they “ identify ” as having the need to abuse children? Just a thought.

So what I’m reading here is that the Republicans who partake in election fraud here locally, are more concerned over transgender individuals than shootings in our schools.

Radical Transphobia is about as dramatic as Jihad and Radical Islam; but they are actively being killed in Palestein for being alive. Rich fake religiousweirdos in North County, like the Fake Cowboys and Fake Vineyard owners; so worried about Sesame Street and Mr Potatoe head you’d swear this wasn’t real. You’d forget Vance called Trump Hitler and Babbot was a terrorist and Luigi is a Hero.

I love things that affect me in no way at all. Have fun with all this.

If you are a taxpayer, it affects you. This is wasted time. School boards have no jurisdiction over state mandates. Those who are concerned need to write their State representatives, John Laird, Salud Carbajal, and Dawn Addis

It is so obvious from the comments who actually has kids and who doesn’t. Gender is based on chromosomes, end of story. Just because I dress in a dolphin costume and eat dolphin food doesn’t make me a dolphin.

I’d like to see people do more about school shootings, bullying and S/A than worry about something that, again, won’t likely affect them. Let’s start there.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig

Now we’re usernaming with Flipper comparisons and the cliche argument “just because I dress…” Think for yourself, Freewilly.

A protest in search of an issue. Transgender Americans make up less than 1% of the American population. In Maine, where the Trump administration is suing the state for not abiding by the president’s executive order on the matter, the justice dept. admits there are only…three such athletes in the entire state and the state itself counts only two.


Last time I went to the grocery store, prices seem to have actually gone up, and yet I don’t read anything about policies coming from Trump that would help lower those prices.


Instead, all I read about is how Trump is attacking his enemies and going after vulnerable populations rather than working on getting prices down or helping the lower and middle classes in this nation.

This. People are upset over something that likely does not affect them on a daily basis. The destruction happening in our government is absolutely more concerning and people should be focused on it.

My 401k lost half it’s value, my daughter lost her job, farmers are about to be on welfare, every country boycotting our products — but at least I don’t have to worry about the transgender boogeyman anymore!

If there was only one Transgender in the entire USA, he would not belong in Women’s sports.

LGTTB or whatever it is has made a lot of gains over the years. Good for them. But guys in women’s bathroom? And vice versa. Or guys playing in women’s sports is over the line. Get married to each other. Whatever. But women should stay in their lane in women’s sports. Men-stay out of women’s sports. And women-stay out of the men’s bathroom.

That’s how it is already. When’s the last time you saw a man competing in a women’s sport league? The whole idea is just rage-bait to distract us.
