Father and daughter awarded $125K after winning legal 'misgendering' case

Source: www.foxnews.com...

A Vermont school district has just reached a settlement to pay one local family $125,000 in damages after disciplining them for speaking out against a transgender student that was creeping out high school girls in a school locker room.

In addition, the school has promised to reinstate Travis Allen as a middle school soccer coach, as well as remove any records of discipline against him and his daughter in the school database.

Christian conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, which handled the case on behalf of the Allen Family, has deemed the settlement a "resounding victory for freedom of speech."

As reported by The Daily Signal, the legal battle began last October with the Allen family filing a lawsuit claiming that Travis and his daughter Blake "were punished for expressing their view on a matter of profound public concern: whether a teenage male who ‘identifies’ as female should be permitted to change in a girls’ locker room, regardless of the discomfort experienced by the girls in that room."

A win for decency-sanity-common sense.


Briefly

A 14-year old teenage girl, Blake Allen, complained as she felt uncomfortable for having a 15-year old biological boy in the girls' locker room. Her father, Travis Allen, stepped in and complained-supporting his daughter-as a result they both get disciplined in this clown world-the father is suspended from his job being a soccer coach n his daughter is suspended from school for sometime. On the top of this Blake n her teammates were banned (!) from using the lockers dedicated for girls(!) Blake was accused of bullying n harassment against the 15-year old boy n both father n daughter were accused of 'misgendering'.


The tide is definitely turning.

What I find difficult to understand is how did we end up like this?!

The school district bowed down and praised the, less than, 1% of the world population so that they could be "inclusive" and "woke". Same thing all of this big companies are doing and it's biting them in the ass, as you and many others in these threads have seen, but some still want to dispute.

By saying 1% you inflate this population by a lot!

From your link:

"Everyone has the right to speak freely, and we are grateful that this settlement further protects that right.

That’s what everyone forgets about the good ole USofA, we will fight for our rights.

15-20 years ago it would have been unthinkable to have boys in girls' locker rooms or men in womens' locker rooms. A sharp n good reminder we need to practice common sense as a society more often.

This is close to the bottom of that slippery slope that all those grumpy intolerant old people talked about when I was a kid.

Pretty sure this is the case where the trans got hardons while leering at the girls.

Anyone with two marbles left can see the effort isn't organic from either side, almost as if it was choosen as a topic to trigger the reactionary camp of society...

Legal is the way to go, anything else is digging their own grave, but legal can change on a whim, so I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.

A school district here in PA spent $1 million to provide bathrooms for a single transsexual student. After the bathrooms were finished, the student transferred to another district.

Honey we hit the bottom of the slop already.

Did you know that a transgender "woman with a penis" in some states/cities is automatically put in a women's prison. Even if they are in jail and convicted of rape and sexual assault of a "woman with a vagina". Yep, it's true.

It is also true that in those instances when "women with vaginas" complained about being locked in a prison cell with a person with a penis, the "women with vagina's" were PUNISHED for not wanting to be locked in a cell with them. Yep, that is what the US has come to.

The result has been documented rapes and pregnancies. But the liberals don't give a rats a** about "women with vagina's" because liberals think "vaginas" have no right to being safe from rape in jail at the expense of keeping a "woman with a penis" safe from rape. The new improved laws written by political leftist liberals only say "women with a penis" have the right to be safe from rape in jail.

Women with vaginas, are the ones punished for saying something in gym and school locker rooms, and restrooms. where the political leftist liberals demand transgender women be allowed. Even if the penis bearing person walks around naked with penis in full display, even erect, and even if they are staring at "women with vaginas" or leering.


The political leftist liberals don't care at all anymore about "women with vaginas" only "women with a penis" are important to them now, as is shown by their actions (words mean nothing when the action always harms one group at the expense of another).

We see this clearly in this instance where the school admitted no wrongdoing and said they would basically keep doing it regardless of the lawsuit.


"Our society has bottomed out and we are expected to abandon privacy and safety rights for "women and girls with vaginas" and to applaud and cheer on anyone with a penis who says they are a woman/girl - OR ELSE FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!

As one liberal US judge said about girls in school locker rooms, "they have no right to bodily privacy".

If you vote for a liberal this is what you are voting to happen everywhere and to be made law in the US and for women and girls with vaginas to be punished for complaining or just saying they feel uncomfortable.

some deeper info
while still good that they won this suit
it no praise for freedom of anything
it was a settlement and not an indictment

VTDigger

Layne Millington, Superintendent of the Orange Southwest Supervisory District, said “the district is pleased to resolve the lawsuit at this early stage and return our focus to educating students.”

which means very little legal precidient can be held for future cases

“The district has made no admission of wrongdoing. Our policies are unchanged and we will continue to comply with our policies and the law.”

the fine was paid by the school board insurance trust

Going forward there is a solution to this.

Single multigendered bathrooms/lockers
Why have a girls room or boys room? Have an area with separate rooms where any sex can go. I know this is very expensive to retrofit, but should be done for new builds or remodels.

BTW the above would work because my healthclub does it and there are ZERO issues and no naked people to see! There is a wall of lockers and then there are separate bathrooms with showers. It works really well.


I personally thought it was SUPER creepy that girls had to go in this big room and shower naked with a bunch of other girls while the girls gym teacher watched. We would get marked down if we didn’t scrub ourselves.

Big mistake getting reinstated by the same people who wrongfully terminated you in the first place. only a matter of time before the same disorder manifests wearing a different face and its back to the court jumping the same hurdles. If you are expendable, take that as omen and find a new establishment.

at least now they can afford to take that road and send a message to their oppressors.
