Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) launched an investigation into how a school in Loudoun County is handling a case of three male high school students accused of harassing a transgender student in the boys' locker room.

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) opened a Title IX investigation into three high school boys at Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, who, according to Gov. Youngkin, said they were uncomfortable with a "female" student using the boys' locker room.

Loudoun County School Board policy allows students to use school bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

Various sources reporting the story claim the transgender student recorded the three boys complaining about the trans student using the male locker room. Video recordings, according to LCPS' own policy, are prohibited in school lavatories.

However, according to WJLA, which originally broke the story, one of the cisgender male students recorded the video and not the trans student, which explains one reason the boys are facing consequences.

Seth Wolfe, the father of one of the boys, says his son is being unfairly targeted. Wolfe has sought the help of the Founding Freedoms Law Center — a Christian law firm associated with the anti-LGBTQ+ group Focus on the Family — to represent the cisgender boys' families.
