A disgruntled Michigan father has begun a crusade against trans women athletes after discovering his daughter played a single volleyball game against a team with a trans player.
"I'm speaking out today not just for my daughter, but for every family who was betrayed when the adults responsible failed to do their job," Sean Lechner said at a press conference about the formal Title IX complaint he filed with the U.S. Department of Education.
Lechner's daughter, Briley, plays volleyball at Monroe High School in Monroe, Michigan. The complaint says that weeks after a home game against another high school, the Monroe players discovered one of their opponents in that game was trans.
The two teams had shared a locker room, and Lechner's complaint alleges that the school "knowingly forced female athletes to share... with a male athlete, violating privacy and Title IX protections."
The complaint claims Monroe High School's athletic director knew about the trans player and that failing to notify parents and players "about the presence of a male athlete" was a violation of "privacy and bodily integrity" for the other girls.

So often I am so overwhelmed by the daily deluge of hate and disinformation that I skip past these posts. But thanks, Jessica, for continuing to bring them to my attention. For reminding me of how much is at stake for all of us but for none so much as transgender children.

I wish I could bring better news, but good news seems to be rare right now. While I don't like posting all of the negative stories, we do need to stay informed. Whether to push back, or just to be prepared. I do understand the desire to ignore the negative news, it's very disheartening some days. The tide will turn one day, but there has already been a lot of damage done to our community.

One of the things that Susan's Place does is document our history. Not just our personal journeys, but the context in which those journeys take place. The news, good and bad, documents the journey of our community. The pendulum swings both ways, so there will be a time of many triumphs. And we will look back and see how far we have come.
Another 30 years from now, new members will read our stories and wonder how we made it through. Look at our brothers and sisters who transitioned 30 years ago and what they went through. Look at what the entire LGBTQ community went through back then. We are just the next wave in the battle.
We fight back by being present. We fight back by telling our stories and the stories of what is happening in our world. We have watched the U.S. Administration try to rewrite history to suit its agenda. We know the truth, and we document it right here as it happens.
